An oldie but a goodie

[Iain]

A young up and coming businessman was out to impress a new client and was taking him out to lunch at one of our better restaurants.
While he was sitting at the table waiting for the client to arrive he spotted John Howard a few tables away.
Our man got up and approached our fearless leader and after introducing himself explained that he was trying to impress a client and when he arrived could he come over and say something along the lines of 'Hello Mike, hows it going'. Our fearless leader agreed.
The client arrives and the two are enjoying lunch and a conversation, John Howard walks over and say 'Hello Mike, hows it going?'.
Our man replies, ' off John, Can't you see I'm busy?'

[John Saxton]

I presume our man was talking to Kim Beazley?
