What I always picture *really* happens after the photos of Buffett drinking coke:
>Buffett walks into the room carrying the Coke
>he looks around, finds where the photographer is standing
>opens his bottle of Coke, takes a sip
>photographer takes 1,000 photos in two seconds
>Buffett leaves the room
>butler runs up carrying large silver spittoon
>Buffett spits out all the coke in the spittoon
>some of it lands on the butler's face
>"Ughh! Disgusting! I can't believe they drink this crap!"
>"So easy to play them like a fiddle Jeeves"
>"Just have them take a couple pictures of you drinking coca cola"
>"Nobody thinks you're a cut-throat businessman if they see you drinking coke.."
>"NOBODY JEEVES."
>"Like taking candy from a baby.."
