OT: I'm on 8th street in Bellevue today, and I swear Bill pulls up right next to me at the stop light. I shout, "Whoa! Bill Gates!"... and my 5 year old says. "I don't know Bill Gates". A chip off the ol' block :)
- zandorg 16y agoI once read (in maybe 2003) that Bill Gates stopped his limo downtown in some slum and was boasting to some rough 'homeys' about being the richest man in the world. His PA told him to get back in the car as he was in danger. I just wish I could find the original story but it's gone offline now.
- pgbovine 16y agouhhhh that seems incredibly unlikely to me, given his public persona, at least. i can't imagine how a man who started the Gates Foundation would ever do such a thing.
- zandorg 16y agoI read it a while back from a gossipy book review, so it must be true (don't shoot the messenger). I think it was some time in 1990, a long long time ago. As I said, it was a story from a book about Bill Gates.
