muck Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 He relays the following story when explaining why Berkshire Hathaway is focused on looking for very very large businesses to acquire, instead of smaller businesses that won't help the profit line very much... "...[an] older man crashed his grocery cart into that of a much younger fellow while both were shopping. The elderly man explained apolgetically that he had lost track of his wife and was preoccupiied searching for her. His new acquaintence said that by coincindence his wife had also wandered off and suggested that it might be more efficient if they jointly looked for the two women. Agreeing, the older man asked his new companion what his wife looked like. "She's a gorgeous blond," the fellow answered, "with a body that would cause a bishop to go through a stained glass window, and she's wearing tight white shorts. How about yours?" The senior citizen wasted no words: "Forget about her, we'll look for yours."" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
