Bill Gates, a Berkshire Hathaway board member, tries using an oversized paddle to return a serve during a brief exhibition table tennis match in front of shareholders at the Regency Court in Omaha, Neb., while board chairman Warren Buffett looks on.
Charlie Munger, who is Berkshire's 88-year-old vice chairman and sat beside Buffett, quipped: "I rather resent all this sympathy and attention that Warren is getting. I probably have more prostate cancer than he does."
The annual meeting is the centerpiece of a weekend of events that Buffett has dubbed "Woodstock for Capitalism." Close to 40,000 shareholders were expected to attend this year.

So they are saying they are not up a creek without a paddle.
However the paddle on the upside of the creek can only be used for steering on the downward movement with the flow without also having a boat. Note that expression is not about paddle for propulsion it is for steering while going down river.
Question, what if someone redirects the stream to clean out the stables?

Good health to you Buffet :)
RE Robert Eastwood
Or the idea spoken often by Buffett of more contribution from higher brackets, wins out in EU elections.
:)
That would be a partial other side, or adding in a boat, with support of those concepts from some recent EU elections :)
