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

Sitting there, he saw a man come into the outer office. Wishing to appear busy, 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.

He walked to the outer office and smugly asked the visitor, "Can I help you?"

The visitor said, "Sure. I've come to connect the phone system."
