A young businessman had just started his business and rented a beautiful office. Sitting there, he saw a man enter the outer office. Wishing to appear busy, the businessman picked up the phone and pretended to be negotiating a major deal. He threw around huge figures and made grand commitments.

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

The man replied, "Sure. I've come to install the phone."
