Mr. Buffett received a call at 4:30 p.m. that Saturday from a private investment firm trying to assemble a group to buy the embattled financial giant. “I’m calling about Bear Stearns,’” the private investor began, according to Mr. Buffett. “Should I go on?’”
Mr. Buffett recalls thinking: “It’s like a woman taking off half her clothes and asking, ‘Should I continue?’ Even if you’re a 90-year-old eunuch, you let ‘em finish.” Mr. Buffett says he passed on the proposed deal. Bear Stearns was bought by J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. the following day.
“You see, Wall Street Journal reporter, Bear Stearns was like a dirty, garish, very garish whore. You didn’t want to slap a ring on her finger* like you did–or I did– with GS, but what, were you going to say, excuse me, I can’t be here, when she stuck her gigantic chemical ball breasts in your face? I think not. You people should know by now that that’s just not how WB rolls.
Oh, and in case you were wondering– yes, I do indeed have an analogy for every bank on the Street, which likens the firm to various women in my life. Lehman Brothers, of course, would be the hooker I accidentally killed in a cheap motel on the outskirts of Vegas in ’89.”

I think he actually said “breastiseses”
Glad you picked this up Bess. Is there a collection of WB’s dirty-old-man sayings out there somewhere because if there isn’t there certainly is a place for them here.
@2 agreed.
As Johnny Drama said [much like O-Cubed], “Mean was when I made Jenny Mancini ride her bike home after f’d her in the a**”
God, If you’re listening, I would really appreciate the following:
1. I want WB to walk in on Congressional Hearings today for the sole purpose of dickslapping every politician arguing saying the words “I” and “think” in the same f’ing sentence.
2. I would appreciate it if you could arrange for footage to be aired of WB curb stomping TGFD while singing “My Dick” by Mickey Avalon.
@4….spit.coffee.over.computer.
As TI would say, “You can have whatever you like…”
so Buffets is pretty annoying, eh? at least he provides dealbreaker fodder
So going on the pretense that a firm is a woman, lets do a internet rag is like a woman.
Dealbreaker is like the woman with the thick glasses that is hot underneath those long dresses.
WSJ is like the old art teacher who jumps in bed with the principal.
@6– who said he was annoying? db certainly did not.
