A young businessman had just started his own firm. He'd had just rented a beautiful office and had it furnished with antiques.

Sitting there, he saw a man come into the outer office. Wishing to appear the hot shot, the businessman picked up the phone and started to pretend he had a big deal working. He threw huge figures around and made giant commitments.

Finally he hung up and asked the visitor, 'Can I help you?'

'Yeah,I'm from the local telephone company, I've come here to activate your phone lines'
