Today we’re going to be talking about Bill and Melinda Gates’s first date.

So anyway, we were working on a Saturday. I worked in a different building, but I guess we parked somewhere near each other and I was coming out of the building and so was he out of his building and he struck up a conversation. We started talking and then… This was on a Saturday and he finally kinda got around and he said “Would you go out with me two weeks from Friday night?” And I’m like “two weeks from Friday night? Who knows their calendar that far out?”
