Let's say you get three choices. For me it would be: Hitler, FDR & I suppose Clinton.
Why Hitler?

I would like to sit down with

Jesus
Teddy Roosevelt
George Washington

there's more, but you said only 3.. LOL

Wayne, from everything I've heard, would've been a very fun guy to hang out with. But if I were to pick an actor of his generation, Errol Flynn would've been even more fun. Elvis would've been fun to hang out with, but Keith Richards would be a better choice as far as a rocker to hang out with.

If we're talking about political figures, it would be JFK, Bill Clinton, and Ben Franklin.

Anne Boleyn, Bette Davis and Lord Byron.

Why? All three would qualify under 'mad, bad and dangerous to know' -- just think of the stories that they could tell...

I would go with President Bush, Brett Favre, and my Grandfather

President Bush because despite him not being popular he has lead an interesting life. I respect the hell out of him for recognizing he drank to much and god did not play a major part in his life. He who was the most powerful person in the world isn't some guy who was perfect he had many failures in his life. I thin it would be interesting to talk to him.

Brett Favre because well his poster is still on my wall at my parents house. The man showed me what toughness was and the love you can have for your father. One of the most memorable things I have seen was his game vs Oakland after his dad died, it brought tears to my eyes.


I never met my Grandpa who died just beofre I was born. He served in the Navy in WWII and saw U-Boats sink ships and all sorts of other things during his time. An amazing man.
