Here’s a quote ….. I was involved in NYC construction in the 80’s

A big shot walked me over to a table at a holiday party , a round table with what I thought were a bunch of old men, I don’t know who they were but he had some fun with me.

H said… “ did u guyz meet this guy, he will be starting our next job from the ground up”

They all laughed their asses off, I just stood there and did not even get it until, a bit later after I walked off.
