Bill Gates made a unpublicized, not necessarily secret, trip to the heartland. “It’s time to put all the cards on the table,” Gates said.

He was accompanied on the trip to Nashville, Tennesee by a woman who was not his wife and they spent an inordinate amount of time together. Her name was Sharon Osberg of San Francisco.

His Billionaire bud, Warren Buffett, was rumored to also to be in Nashville but he remained out of sight.

“It’s time for some new tricks, I’m tired of playing around online, for the past seven years I’ve gotten serious,” Gates said. He said it was time to do some serious bidding.

Gates and his wife Melinda founded the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, and took billions of dollars from Buffett.

Gates often played the dummy while in Nashville. Nobody raised an eyebrow or objected.

“Bill Gates is a prick,” has been the rallying cry for an unknown and weak minded blogger, “this only confirms that he can play the dummy when needed. I’m not sure it’s a good strategy, but he seems to make it work. Of course no one is going to question him. It’s Bill Friggin’ Gates.”

Asked about the affair, Gates was heard to say he had tried to give her diamonds, but she took a spade to club his heart.
