If you could have lunch with anyone in history, living or dead, who would it be?
Jesus Christ.....
"Can you make a rock so big you can't lift it?" (Catholic School ducks under desk...:)
We are going have endless lunches with all of them sooner or later. I’m looking forward to the Rainbow Bridge myself.
I agree Nixon would be an interesting choice.
B. Franklin.
"God, what's a million dollars to you?"
"A penny."
"God, what's a million years to you?"
"A second."
"God, can I have a penny?"
"Sure....in a second."
Ahh. Yes. In your shoes, I would feel exactly the same way.
In my case, it is my dad, but for a somewhat different reason. My dad, career navy who was commissioned in 1945, had a stroke at dinner with the entire family one night, and even though he lived five more months, could not converse...I have often wanted to hear his voice one more time.
In your case, I am sure there are so many things you wondered about growing up...
Another historical figure that I would like to take to lunch is General Tso Tsung-t’ang, a mover and shaker in China in the middle and late nineteenth century, during the waning years of China’s Ch’ing Dynasty. I would order General Tso’s Chicken, said to be named after him, and ask him what he thinks.
Churchill
King David
Maggie Thatcher
Or Monroe, if the other four are booked.
Lee was one of my picks too. See below.
Do the historical choices get any say in whether they want to have lunch with YOU?
I have often thought about it, and I just cannot fathom a God who doesn’t have a sense of humor!
That fits completely in some way for me! (If I think of the big, white bearded version of God, I can imagine a playful smirk under that beard, much as a parent would have talking to a very small child...
I like the vision...:)
If we’re talking musicians, Frank Zappa.
1. Caesar Augustus - Politics, I have a fascination with the fall of the Roman Republic
2. Jesus - Obvious topics
3. Teddy Roosevelt - Talk about hunting
4. Duke Kahanamoku - Talk story about surfing
5. Rodney Dangerfield - Just for the laughs
See Matthew 14:13-21 to find out what's for lunch.
The Dallas Cowboy’s Cheerleaders from the late ‘70’s.
Adolph Hitler so I could whoop that azz. It would be the longest hour of his worthless life
> Robert E Lee and Davy Crockett <
I visited the San Jacinto Battlefield last year where Santa Anna was defeated. In the museum I was most impressed by Davy Crockett’s knife, the one he used at the Alamo after he ran out of ammunition. Davy Crockett’s knife very closely resembles the wood handled paring knife my wife uses for peeling potatoes. It couln’t have been more that 6-1/2” inches from point to the handle’s butt.
