      (Scene: Bill Gates gets a cake on his face at Belgium, calls up
       the local cops. By the way, the guy who pulled this scene off
       appears
       to  have chosen "abort" out of "Ignore Retry Abort" options.
       So Gates ends up with only one cake)

      "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 ofthe
      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.
