A young businessman

A young businessman had just started his own firm. He rented a beautiful office and had it urnished with antiques. Sitting there, he saw a man come into the outer office. Wishing to appear the hot hot, the businessman picked up the phone and started to pretend he had a big deal working. He threw huge figures around and made giant commitments. Finally he hung up and asked the visitor,
 "Can I help you?"
The man said, "Yeah, I've come to activate your phone lines."
