Two Buffets Enter, One Buffet Leaves

Results for QOTW #3:
I discovered two things after sending out this email: First, that my parents don't appreciate emails titled "The Time I Almost Died" and that a hell of a lot of you don't know who Warren Buffet is. Nonetheless, got some excellent responses. Some highlights:

From Charlie:
Warren can lead a normal life if he wants to and could walk along a normal city-block ignored by all but the investing elite. Jimmy would get hassled if he wanted to buy rolling papers at a 7-eleven.


From Dan Berger:
I'm not saying that Warren Buffet neccesarily associates with hitmen, but let's just not rule that out, ok?

However, the prize winner this week is, hands down, the one and only Nathan. It turns out that Nathan has a knowledge of the two men that can only be described in two words: "Fucking creepy" (credit to Steve for that observation). Without further ado, Nathan's response:
