Paying to have lunch with people...why?

Hey monkeys, just read an article about a charity auctioning away a lunch with Warren Buffet.

An anonymous fan of Warren Buffett agreed to pay $2,679,001 at an online charity auction to have lunch with the billionaire chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.

If you guys had the money to do so, would you want to have lunch with Warren Buffet? Why? If not Warren Buffet, anyone else come to mind?

this motherfucker asked me to get coffee and he bought the coffee but then hes like yo im going back to san fran tomorrow but im going rock climbing tonight, wanna come? and honestly i go to bed super early im up at 4am and he was going at 8 and im like fuck that son im going to bed. but i said fine because it was the type of contact where hes not even in my industry proper, hes thinking about getting into it. but hes doing real well in 2 other industries. so im like eeeeeh fuck it whatever its a contact that might come in handy ill go climb some fucking rocks with you.

so anyway, it was like $45 and he didnt offer to pay. what the fuck is that. bro youre talking to me about apartment building rent these fucking gay grippy shoes for me motherfucker. and also I recently got Vibrams and they fucking stomp those gay climbing shoes why would you NOT climb in vibrams.

also hes like pudgy but skilled i guess and im in good shape and climbing a rock wall's not that hard and he was visibly irritated that i was able to keep up with him despite being new or whatever. like bro you got chalk but also a gut what do you expect

dude also took forever to fucking warm up. i find myself on a rowing machine at a rock climbing gym at 9PM on a wednesday in the Loop where the dude at the front desk referred to me as "man". dont fucking have a name tag and call me man i know my gender do you know yours you fucking lemon tart

hope he doesnt read this site because hes from the same country as i am and a nice guy but like bro if youre gonna ask for a meeting then fucking have a topic in mind not just some informational shit. like bro i literally have no friends. none. not looking. why are we talking if it aint about money i dont even watch the news man fuck yourself
