I was there.
I had planned to skip but Warren threatened
(again!) to buy the nasdaq and run it with the magic
8-ball I gave him for Christmas.
Really, I think stocks would do just as well if he did but
I felt obligated to western civ to show up.

The limo wasn't armoured and had only one waiter who doubled as a masseuse;
everyone is cutting back.

Lunch was... chicken salad; shadowed by Rodin's bronze statue
of The Thinker , which Warren ahd flown in from the Louve to inspire us to think.

Bill kept text-messaging Linda under the table. They are quite romantic in a geeky disgusting way.

Warren kept asking us what our ideas were about helping the poor. I suggested we could give them a lot of money.
Warren just sighed and said, "If only it were that simple."

The fifth time he said that Bill threw the magic 8-ball at him
and it shattered against the The Thinker .
We all looked at the pieces of black plastic and blue water,
where the little message ball floated free.

"Perhaps" came up top.
We took that as a good sign and went home.

    As far as I remember.
    He could have said "If only you weren't simple,"
    but I don't think he did.
    
    I don't think he did.
