If you could have dinner with...?

Question

If you could have dinner with any 3 people, past or present, living or dead, who would you choose?

Answer 1

Sigmund Freud
Queen Hatchepsut (The earliest queen regnant in history and the most powerful)
and collin farrell ,well he's hot;)

Answer 2

1. You don't know.
2. You don't know. (most likely anyway)
3. This one guy I saw on a television show that has a real photographic memory. He went on one ride in a helicopter for an aerial view over Rome and drew the entire city in a matter of three days without any outside source (all of it stored in his mind). The coliseum was near perfection, which is remarkable considering all the dynamics of it. The only downside is that he's autistic so he's not exactly the desired socialite for an evening out.

I wouldn't mind trading both 2 and 3 just for number 1 if I had to though.

Answer 3

Nice question.

Buddah, The Aga Khan, and Jesus.
Honorable mentions are Princess Di, the Dalai Lama, Da Vinci, Sun Tzu, Tupac

Answer 4

Yeah, I cn guess wot the politically correct answers of this prolly SHOULD be, according to what country we come from. Like the Americans will all talk about American history – 'cept the American guys who’ll all talk brain dead pneumatic-chested bimbos...

but...

Well, part from all my rellies past and present. They’re all brilliant, but that would be just like Christmastime down south.

So, to be fanciful and keep relatives out of it… I’d invite….. um…no, not Jesus. Great to walk around the wilderness or go fishing with him, & I’d enjoy his political debate. I mean, Jesus was so NOT a fundamentalist. God knows where the moden obsession with shallow fundamentalists comes from. Yep, Jesus for sure, but not for dinner. Bit like Communion at church, but this would be the real thing. Nup, too depressing. I don't fancy a Last Supper. I’d know what was coming next.

'Sides we'd all have to face the one way, couldn't talk to him.

And so not St Paul cos he was never really where the action was n he was a bit of a misogynist if we can take the current interpretations of his emails as gospel … ;-) ‘sides, all that jail stuff couldn’t have been healthy.

And no, not the Buddha. Too much ambiguity. ‘Sides, I don’t have any Indian languages, and besides we’d be restricted to leavened bread and water that had been filtered of all living organisms.

And the Aga Khan? Why? What good was he? Might as well suggest the Sultan of Brunei or the floorwalker in “Are You Being Served” re-runs….!

Abraham would be horrid. I’d be just as nervous as he would be while waiting for a booming voice to squash the dinner conversation.

As for Solomon, cheech, even if he had been real, there’d be just too much wisdom centred on one person.

If it has to be someone religious, then I’d invite John Flynn, but I bet nobody knows who he was.

And no, not Albert Einstein. Too neurotic about proving he was right.

Sigmund Freud. I’m afreud not. Bit of a fraud was Freud. But coming back into fashion in a PC trendy post-feminist
way. I’d worry if I had him seated next to me that he’d be interpreting the way I fondled my knife and fork as a male appendage envy.

Abraham Lincoln – boring; it’d be hollow human rights euphemisms and corporate profit; Kate Beckinsale, Rachel McAdams, and Emma Watson? All a bit puffy jaded, not really hot, playing no-brainer pubescent teenage girls when they are, and look, their ages of close to or beyond 30. Nup, I’d rather have Lara Croft-Angelina Jolie

But, no. Definitely no actors..... ‘cept maybe Peter Ustinov and Spike Millligan. But they’re not just actors existing on someone else’s words and genius.

Mmm…. William Shakespeare would be fantastic, if you could get a word in edgeways. So too would his arch enemy Elizabeth 1…. And also that strange little man John Knox.

Wow. A queen? I’d rather have Mary of Scotland.

But no, no regents.

Joan of Arc, maybe. Maybe she'd have got a title if the Stewarts had won out. But maybe not Jean d'Arc. We’d have to watch the flambe. Might upset the other stakeholders at the dinnertable too. 'Sides, the voices would keep interrupting.

Princess Di would be fun – before she met Prince Jughead and his Hanoverian mum. The Dalai Lama would be a bit facile. There’s a limit to all that PC smiling. Sun Tzu would be too limiting - we'd end up with an artful war of words - Tupac too,

But Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo? Yea… !

OK, I’ll go with Da Vinci – no, someone else has him.

I’ll invite Pierre Teilhard de Chardin…

Umm.. no, Bede Griffith…. Yes, Bede Griffith and Anna Politkovskaya, the seventh Russian journalist who had written and spoken out against President Putin to be assassinated by agents of Moscow this year, Anna’s books are brilliant. She was a very good writer and social justice worker. And Ian Hammond the brains trustee who joined up with Jeremy Clarkson and had that huge accident... Um, maybe no, on second thoughts, I'd rather invite Jeremy because of his articulate wit and his writing – and he is so beautifully NOT politically correct, the first man to encourage me to feel good about the real joy of automotive industrial art. And Bede Griffith because he has written so intelligently about real spirituality as well as having shown, like de Chardin the proper universality of Christian philosophy, effective in marrying Hinduism and Catholicism, establishing his ashram.

Of course, I kept my list to people who speak and think well in English, too, just to make it easier for me.

So, at my table are: Anna Politkovskaya, and Jeremy Clarkson, and Bede Griffith and Me.... Yea...!

Why, I even got to have two girls and two guys....
