Funniest Story: Most stories I could never repeat but one that comes to mind has to do with a very colorful man named Sam Angel.

Doug and I were in Lake Tahoe in 1986 and Doug was a shift manager for Amarillo Slim. Sam would always bother Doug for comps to the gourmet restaurants. Finally, one night Doug says "OK, Sam, here take this to the gourment steak house." Doug quickly gets me and we hide around some slot machines and watch as Sam is told he could not be served that night. His comp was expired...Doug was so bad...he did it on purpose but it didn't stop Sam from continuing to ask.

If you could change anything in the world, what would it be?
