It's not really about Bill Gates, I've heard it about others before, but it's possessed of a certain dark humour that I rather appreciate and so I'll repeat it here...
Bill Gates is in the airport and is recognized by an old classmate of his...introducing himself: "Bill, don't you remember...it's me, Bob, I was a year behind you...we had the same math teacher..." and poor Bill, he doesn't remember either him or any of the stories he's telling but he doesn't want to appear rude...
Bob continues..."Say, Bill, I'm going on vacation with this girl, just been dating her a bit, and you know, wouldn't it be swell if you came up and said hi when we're talking? I mean, you've done well and all and she'd be impressed..." and Bill, ever the sport, agrees, and Bob goes back to his guest.
After a short amount of time Bill approaches the couple, they're deep in conversation, Bill waits a moment and then interrupts..."Bob? Bob? Is that you? I can hardly believe it..." to which Bob turns and curtly responds "Fuck off Bill! Can't you see I'm talking to someone?"

Canadian made, can't believe I never heard of it, gorgeous effects and some interesting styles, overall, though, it get's lost in pretension and becomes silly. No worse for that than many a bigger budget Hollywood film, and I'd sooner take a chance with this over the big budget films any day of the week...

Exactly what you'd expect, more social awkwardness and faux-pas and surreal snippets of everyday life. David Brent Chasing the dream. The non-sequitur to "The Office" - but not, it's only David Brent, after all, more of a television special than a movie but if you liked "The Office" you'll like this. 3.2 Bananas.

I like him.
Poems like:
Love’s Not The Way To Treat a Friend
Love’s not the way to treat a friend.
I wouldn’t wish that on you. I don’t
want to see your eyes forgotten
on a rainy day, lost in the endless purse
of those who can remember nothing.Love’s not the way to treat a friend.
I don’t want to see you end up that way
with your body being poured like wounded
marble into the architecture of those who make
bridges out of crippled birds.Love’s not the way to treat a friend.
There are so many better things for you
than to see your feelings sold
as magic lanterns to somebody whose body
casts no light.
And
RESTAURANT
Fragile, fading 37,
she wears her wedding ring like a trance
and stares straight down at an empty coffee cup
as if she were looking into the mouth of a dead bird.
Dinner is over. Her husband has gone to the toilet.
He will be back soon and then it will be her turn
to go to the toilet.
