As for a leader from history I wouldn't want that. Most are dead and would really stink up the elevator. I would be uncomfortable with anyone from upper management cause I would like to hit them several times with a clenched fist. I already spend too much time with my wife, if it were someone from my past then the situation would be too akward for a long period. And I don't talk to strangers. So Bob Dole it would be.

Bob Dole seems like an interesting sort of guy. He's done a lot of stuff, been to a lot of places. I'm sure he could tell me a lot.

a nicely bizarre question....
just because I am feeling piggish... someone attractive and interesting to talk with...

In hopes the elevator would be stuck for a while, and there were no cameras, I'd want to be stuck in an elevator with another woman that I always wanted to have sex with but didn't. I also wouldn't mind my life-partner/wife because I'm still in love with her after all these years. She wouldn't bore me or tick me off like some many other people, and I know we'd have an interesting conversation. XY/XY

A friend would be nice, Jen would be perfect. I could do total stranger, but it would depend on the stranger.
* oh, do I have to have sex with the person?

A famous entertainer of whom I'm a huge fan (I checked total stranger, since I've never met this woman, and other): Laurie Anderson. I think she would have interesting observations on being stuck in an elevator. I hate to wish this experience on her, though.

Someone interesting who doesn't smell bad.

If they have to be living now, I would really like to ask Monica Lewinsky some questions & see if she has anything resembling a brain.
If not living, Leonardo da Vinci must have been a fascinating person to know & if he weren't available, Isaac Asimov.

It might be fun to get stuck with a favorite author.

Either a stranger or Robin Williams. It could be fun getting to know a stranger, and depending on how long we were stuck, I doubt Robin Williams would care if I had to pee in a corner.

Do you all really think that a famous person would actually feel like getting into some deep life changing conversation with you, a complete stranger, while stuck in an elevator? Doesn't really seem like it to me.

Bizarre choices - this is sort of a cut down version of the "dinner party", assuming somehow you're going to get out eventually. Since I can choose anyone, and in normal life I can't choose anyone, I'd choose some famous person from history. Why a leader? What kind of leader? Leader of a country, or a religion, or a social movement? If it has to be a leader-leader I'd get Hamurabi and ask if he really did all that stuff they say he did.

Pandora: I think we've established in past surveys that most of us here love sex ;)

Pandora: I don't think I'm looking for a deep life changing conversation, but I would have the *opportunity* to talk to Hamurabi - something I'd never get in any other situation.

famous people, so I could really talk with them.
Pandora - well, the likelihood that a famous person or Hamurabi would actually get in an elevator with one of us is just about equal to the likelihood that they'd want to have a deep and meaningful conversation....right? So why not spin out the web of fantasy as far as it can go....

Someone with really, really good elevator-fixing skills.

Anyone who could keep my interest enough that I wouldn't go nuts from claustrophobia. :) That said, a "romantic acquaintance" would be fine, as would most of my friends (but please no talking about being stuck in a small space!) and of course my SO. Most strangers would just be annoying, as would most famous people, leaders or otherwise.

I'm sure the answer to that question varies on a day to day basis, but never someone I didn't know....It would have to be one of my close friends, I tend to be quite claustrophobic

Someone who had a guitar and could play it and sing to me. Maybe Dave Matthews or James Taylor.
