I dreamt I met Warren Buffett! Theee Warren Buffett!
As we walked out of a lecture at FSC, I told him it was destiny that we met, because the day before I read a book that said to get a picture of the richest man in the world.
“Oh.” He smiled his famous multi-billionaire smile. “My picture inspires you?”
“No, actually,” I said, somewhat embarrassed. “I got a picture of Carlos Slim Helú. He’s the richest. Never mind. And, um, no offense.”
As Warren’s (I mean, Mr. Buffett’s) famous multi-billionaire smile wilted, I knew I’d put both feet in my mouth. I could even taste my socks!
But even so, recognizing the amazing opportunity before me, I still asked him for his secret to getting rich.
He sighed, like maybe he’d heard that question before.
His aide asked if he was coming along, but he said he’d stay.
Happy to hear how to create wealth from someone who clearly knows, I giggled with delight. But in a macho giggly way.
We sat in the middle of a classroom where a few students studied off to the side.
The lights were too bright for him, so I kept trying to adjust the switch where he wouldn’t be bothered, but I could still see.
He said he wanted them at half, so I put the two light switches at half, but he wanted one of them at half and the other turned off completely, so I said, “You want them at a fourth.”
Seeing a wave of exasperation sweep across his face, I said, “Half is fine” and decided not to bicker over the quarter/half issue, even though I was clearly right in that regard.
As I yanked out my notebook, which has a promo cover for my first book “Holy Laughter! Humor in the Bible”, Warren (I mean, Mr. Buffett) said “The first thing is stocks.”
Obviously, I wanted to write that down, but I kept trying to find a blankety-blank blank page upon which to write.
Although I couldn’t find a blankety-blank blank page, I eventually asked what the second thing was; and he said to read the newspaper USA Today.
And so, the only advice I got from my dream meeting with Warren Buffett was stocks and read USA Today.
If you know how that will make me rich, please let me know.
Looks like I need to eat the same spicy food tonight that I ate last night, so I can continue my dream seminar.
Otherwise, I’ll call Carlos (I mean Señor Helú) and ask: “¡Hola mi amigo! ¿Cómo se enriqueció usted?”*

Although I did actually dream that I met Warren Buffett, this is still a work of humor/parody.
