Jimmy or Warren?

 

Do you think anyone ever mistakes Warren Buffett for Jimmy Buffett?

In my mind it goes like this: Warren Buffett is at some big meeting for investors or something and someone comes walking up to him in the hotel lobby looking all excited and shaking his hand, saying “Hey man, I love your work, wanna go have a margarita on me? C’mon, let’s get drunk and search for our missing salt shakers!”

And then Warren, who’s thinking they’re referring to his lack of stock performance this year politely refuses and makes an excuse for only making 20 billion dollars this year, and the other guy gets all confused and there’s a big misunderstanding and someone in the lobby ends up getting shot and the perp takes off in a 1978 Camaro Z28 which results in some sort of crazy car chase through the streets of Miami where they drive off one of the numerous overpasses and the car explodes in a big ball of fire?

I bet it happens all the time.
