Saw this one today and thought it belonged here.

I'll start it off

James Belushi - Got to have a comedian in the group

Elvis Presley - Musical entertainment covered

Adolph Hitler - Philisophical discussion covered - History through the eyes of a madman.

Probably not the best choices in the world, but there my choices.

Jesus Christ, if he was at all a real person, so I could ask him about all that divinity stuff.

A translator of Aramaic (good enough to translate spoken).

Bruce Willis, because he's awesome.

Einstein
Newton
Ramses
Alexander
Da Vinci
Jesus
David
Daniel
Moses
Julius Caesar
Robert E. Lee
Geronimo
Jesse James
Daniel Boone
Davy Crockett

Can't narrow it down to 3.
As for current people, there really is no one that stands out in my mind. We seems devoid of great heroes or greatness period. Not to detract from the heroic efforts of many of our servicemen, of course, but no real stand outs.

Steven Hawking to stimulate my mind with strange tales of space and physics.

A world famous chef who can cook the best three course meal on earth.

Mozart and his choice of musicians to play for me while I and my dinner guest enjoy the meal.

And last but not least Helen of Troy to suck me off during it all. Mostly so Mozart can go back to heaven and let everyone know that the prettiest woman of the ancient era drank my offering.

For once in my life I want to eat like a king!

after dinner do they go back to where they came from?
if so the 3 most influential writers of the Constitution
so that when they go back they can clarify the wording of a few things before putting pen to paper
