Yeah, but who leaves the tip?

Not saying 'NO' doesn't mean 'YES'.

The foolishness of one's actions or words is determined by the number of witnesses.

Perhaps if Brains were described as an APP, many people would use them more often.

Respect, like money, is only of 'worth' when it is earned - with all due respect, it can not be ordained, legislated or coerced. Anonymous

Banana, how did you ever find that auction???"

This story from 2014 shows it goes back to 2000:

It isn't a secret and usually gets significant press coverage.

Forget keeping up with the Joneses. Be the Finklegrubers!
OK kids, time to get the Dodge loaded up again. I hear 'Poppy's By the Tree' calling. This trip might be a long one too.

Power lunch with Warren Buffet

i can't see having that much money to spend on a lunch with anyone and i mean anyone.

they say it is going to charity?

well if i had that much money to give to charity would rather see it at work with my own eyes.

buy someone's grocery bill, take a toothless stranger to the dentist, buy 1 that walks to work, a car..............

then again perhaps the person having lunch with WB is already doing all that...

@timemachine777 Yes, it was a typo in my post forgot the word "not" ...

Should read "his kids and grandkids will not be inherting his vast fortune instead it's all going to charity." And that 'he is a stand up guy, not stand up buy"

Teaches me not to post when I am tired and right before I go to bed.

I also know he is frugille. Read quite a bit about him. And try to emulate my portfolio to buy low in some of his holdings. He likes a lot of blue chips. And Berkshire Hathaway is as solid as you get -- though I haven't looked at it lately.

Happy 2018! May this upcoming year be a prosperous one!

Warren is going to suggest that they hit the drive-through at McDonald's. No tip.

Oh, good! I can bid, then. Don't have to worry about the bid PLUS 15%

WHEW!
