Luigi says to his son:
'I want you to marry a girl of my
choice.'
Son says: 'I will choose my own
bride!!!'
Luigi says: 'But the girl is Bill
Gates' daughter . . .'
Son answers: 'Well, in that case . . .
OK''
Next Luigi approaches Bill Gates and
says.
'I have a husband for your daughter
...'
Bill Gates answers: 'But my daughter
is too young to marry!!'
Luigi says: 'But this young man is a
vice-president of the
World Bank'
Bill Gates answers: 'Ah, in that case
. . . OK'
Finally Luigi goes to see the
president of the World Bank.
Luigi says: 'I have a young man to be
recommended as a
vice-president.'
President answers: 'But I already have
more vice-presidents
than I need!'
Luigi says : 'But this young man is
Bill Gates' son-in-law.'
President answers: 'Ah, in that case .
. . OK'
And that, my friends, is how Italians
do business.
