The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

“then there was the absurd question about the hot dog stand.”

I hear you, But this particular Q&A provided enormous laughter for about a dozen of us sitting together in the CHI arena upon hearing this WTH?! question. It was almost like a Sat. Night Live Belushi skit or maybe a fraternity pledge joke. Hey, I love Becky’s on topic and very relevant and screened BRK questions as much as anyone, but the comic relief this provided and Greg’s comment I may have to “phone a friend”, Regis was really funny. We relived it at the sports bar lunch right after the meeting. Classic!

Poor young fella who asked it was so excited to ask his question but had not done his homework!😁 Oh well, at least they spun it to chat about IL based Marmon, the talented Jay Pritzker & the tax change LIFO cocoa beans certificate for stock story.

I appreciate many of your points but still really enjoyed the meeting. The silly questions from kids and others have truly been going on for years.
