"Bubbles Up!"


Now, let's move on to Buffett Trivia #2

One of Jimmy's favorite expressions is, "Bubbles up!"

Where did he learn this expression? Why is it so near and dear to his heart?

P.S. The picture should give you a hint . . . . . It's of one of his planes, the "Hemisphere Dancer."

"One of Jimmy's favorite sayings is "Bubbles Up!" It saved his life when he crashed a seaplane off of Long Island. He had been through the flight survival training course at Little Creek Nav Air Station in Norfolk, and this was the last thing he remembered before blacking out after the crash. He saw which way the bubbles were going ("bubbles up"), followed them, and survived the crash."

Recently, everything I know comes from a "verbing" of a noun, i.e. Googling, or as one friend phrased it: not diving deep into research, but jet skiing across it."
