I'd really like to meet my great-grandfather (long since dead). I feel that we have had a lot in common and feel I get my pain tolerance from him. He fell down a mountain, like an entire mountain (and didn't die), lost most of his thumb in an accident, and when the doctors were going to finish the job with a clean amputation, he said "Make sure you leave me enough thumb to hold a hammer." (quoted from my great-grandmother)I also love to meet people who think they know everything, so that I can shatter their reality and give them something to think about.
