[QUOTE=Slick1]"Saint & Hunt, I don't know either of you, but Hunt, your posts are hilarious and I couldn't stop laughing! "
Yeah Hunt's a real funny guy.come back down to BA Hunt between 3/18- 3/25. I've been hoping to meet this guy. We'll hit some of those restaurants you rave about, drink a few bottles of that stuff you drink, what is it called again, wine or something like that. We'll tell a few courtroom stories. We'll put a roof on a Comedor with Capt. Dave.come on down Hunt, I've been waiting to meet you. [/QUOTE]I am deeply sorry, but with last night's business deal with [b]SAINT![/b] everything in my life has turned around. So I won't be able to join you.
And how terrific last night was! After concluding our real estate deal, [b]SAINT![/b] invited me to fly with him on his private 747 to Monte Carlo. We arrived a few hours later. We played bacarat with Jacques Chirac, a senior Prince of the Saudi monarchy, and the aforementioned Bill and Melinda Gates. Some piker named Warren Buffett was recruited to serve us our drinks and to explain to us those old-fashioned silly ideas about investing. How 20th century that old fossil is!
[b]SAINT![/b] introduced me to Karolina Kurkova, and he was so kind to describe me in the most flattering terms, so this hot babe was all over my bones last night. Really, I couldn't keep proper track of my cards, and that Saudi prince took me for a hundred thousand dollars in thirty minutes. Oh well, it's only money.
Anyway, for dinner Emeril Lagasse served us some wonderful stuff, I don't know how to pronounce half of what we ate, but [b]SAINT![/b] sure can, so you'll have to ask him. After dinner we stepped outside to have a smoke (damn smoke-free laws have been extended to Monte Carlo). We were accosted by some Gypsy children who looked exceptionally tattered and poor. Much to my amazement I learned that [b]SAINT![/b] speaks fluent Roma. He chatted with these young rascals in their own language, gave them pearls of wisdom including a tip on an apartment building for sale in San Telmo which they can turn a tidy profit on if they buy it. He then discreetly put a big wad of cash into the hand of one, and shooed them away.
As for your kind offer Slick1, as I was saying, I would love to come visit you in late March, but [b]SAINT![/b] is taking me with him to Davos, where he has been asked to give a private lecture to the leaders of the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, the Bank of England, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank. He has been approached by these institutions to consult on how to avoid a collapse of the international banking system due to excessive real estate speculation. As the world's leading authority on real estate, [b]SAINT![/b] was the obvious choice. Alan Greenspan was a distant second. Also, keep this under your hat, but a little birdie last night told me that they may acclaim [b]SAINT![/b] the head of a new Worldwide Central Bank, but don't say anything, let's leave the surprise for the end of next month.
OK boys, I am back in Manhattan this evening. As I said, the Cristal is on me at Scores. [b]SAINT![/b] has jetted off to Punta Del Este and is scheduled to consult with Nestor Kirchner this evening. I understand that K has offered to step aside and to nominate [b]SAINT![/b] as Peronist nominee for President this year. Of course, it would be a giant step down in prestige for our friend, so [b]SAINT![/b] has to figure a way to let him down gently.
