If you could invite any 3 people in history to have dinner with you---who would you invite?

For me:

1. Jesus Christ
2. Leonardo Da Vinci
3. Abraham Lincoln

(PPHSFan---maybe a distant 4th :D )

I would invite:

1.) Hitler (so I could kick him where the sun don't shine, and then point and laugh)

2.) Jesus (so he could do the same)

3.) And, last, but definitely not least- Andre the Giant (to keep Hitler from getting away before I could kick him.)

Lol...I thought you were in attendance at the last supper!:eek: ;)

For me:

1. Harriet Tubman
2. Ronald Reagan (it's okay if Nancy comes too)
3. One of the early astronauts, I would have to figure out which one had the best personality and greatest historical significance (probably Neil Armstrong)

I got asked this same question when interviewing for Harvard. I can't remember all three but I know one was Christ and I think that was all it took to get the boot.

I wasn't familiar with Harriet Tubman---I looked her up on the Internet. Quite a remarkable woman. My pick in that area would have to be Mother Theresa - one of the people I admired the most.

So funny you brought this topic up.. about 7 years ago, my mother won a Better Homes and Garden Essay contest and the topic was "What 3 people would you like to have dinner with (either living or deceased) and why? She won the contest, had her essay and her picture in the Better Homes and Garden and won new kitchen applicances..:)

1) Jesus Christ - easy choice

2) Ben Young - my grandfather who died when i was only 1. i would like a chance to meet and get to know the person who i hear so much about.

3) Audie Murphy - he was the most decorated U.S. soldier in World War II. he was only 21 years old at the end of the war, he had killed 240 German soldiers, been wounded three times, and had earned an amazing 33 awards and medals, including the Medal of Honor. after the war, Murphy appeared in more than 40 films and wrote poetry.

Sigmond Freud- There are some questions I have that only he can answer.

Hitler- Just to know what the hell was going through his head.

Eve- So that I could slap her for eating the forbidden fruit.

Its funny that you posted this, i got asked this question in my academic decathlon interview 2 years in a row, on my way to 2 back to back gold medals....

Adolph Hitler to get inside his mind as to how he was able to become one of the greatest speakers in history.

Cesar Chavez because I admire his work with the United Farm Workers of America and their struggle for equal pay and benefits.

Mahatma Ghandi just because he is Ghandi and I'd like to meet him.

Wouldn't matter. Oswald and his "Pristine Bullet" would get her before she talked.

I'd have to have Pope John Paul II on my list. Truly a fascinating man!

I would have to invite:

1. Socrates- The Father of free thought.
2. Franklin Delano Roosevelt- He led our country through WW2 and the Great Depression all at the same time.
3. Mark Twain- He was a great orator as well as a great writer and I believe he would lighten up the evening.

Muhammad Ali
Walter Payton
Babe Ruth

Jesus would be on the list but He is always with me so, I dont have to have Him on the list of three
