          | Gates at the Brussels PD-Brussels police department, how may I assist
you?-
 -Uh.. yes.. I just got hit in the face with a
cream pie.-
 
 -Okay, sir. Have you called the Brussels police
department before?-
 
 -No-
 
 -Well, let me get a little information about you
for our
 records. Your name?-
 
 -Bill Gates-
 
 -Country?-
 
 -The USA-
 
 -Native language?-
 
 -English-
 
 -Okay, sir. Your police department ID number is
BP31415927.
 Please use this number the next time you call.
Now, you say you 
 were hit in the face with a pie?-
 
 -Yes, I was just about to meet with the Belgian
Prime Minister.
 One person distracted me while another hit me
with a cream pie.-
 
 -We've had other customers report that they were
hit in the face
 with a custard pie. Are you sure it was a cream
pie?-
 
 -Well, I have white stuff all over my face and I
don't see any
 custard, so I really don't think it was a custard
pie.-
 
 -Have you visited the Prime Minister before?-
 
 -Yes-
 
 -Were you hit in the face with a pie then?-
 
 -No-
 
 -Hmm... have you visited any other Prime Ministers
in the past month?-
 
 -Yes-
 
 -Any pies then?-
 
 -No-
 
 -Okay, well.. let's try something. Go outside the
building and
 come in again. I'll wait.-
 
 -Just a minute..- (several minutes pass)-Okay, I'm
back.-
 
 -Did you get hit by another pie?-
 
 -Of course not-
 
 -Well sir, I don't know what could have caused the
first pie,
 but it looks like things are working fine now.
I'll make a note of the
 problem, though. If it happens again, please note
the exact
 details of the situation and call us again. Thank
you for calling the
 Brussels Police Department.
