Meg Whitman is going to Bill Gates' mansion tonight for a fancy dinner. As the people who made Ebay what it is today, we are invited also. Unfortunetly, we must serve...
Thanks

I live about 15 minutes from Bill's, but unfortunately, on the "other side of the fence". Guess that is why I didn't get my invitation! And Martha is going to be there too! Should be a very interesting combination!

No, but I'm going over to Gill Bates house tonight -- Wednesday is usually our skeet shooting night, so tonight we're going to use Microsoft discs for the targets!

With Martha there, guess setting & decorating the dinner table with items they picked up off ebay's Shabby Chic section was out.

You didn't miss a thing. The computer that controlls the security at the mansion crashed. They couldn't get the front gates unlocked so everyone went to Pizza Hut.
The light at the end of the tunnel will turn out to be an oncoming train.

Meanwhile, all the security control panels showed the security system was "Available". However, since the crash was less than 2 hours and only "intermittent", Bill refused to let them extend their stay.

You guy are cracking me up!
"they went to Pizza Hut!"
I love that one!
That crowd could walk OUT of Pizza Hut with a "percentage" of the money in the cash register. Maybe that's us small timers problem, we ain't greedy 'nough. Oh well, I guess we still have our fun...
