Funniest story in your casino career
It was my floor supervisor's birthday and one of the players "mooned" her...the whole room went quiet for just a few seconds and then everyone busted out in laughter after watching her reaction. (This was all in fun and he had on long boxer shorts).

If you could change anything in the world, what would it be?
Wow...that lends to very deep thought as I am a firm believer that all that happens in the world is for a good reason...I guess if I could change the world I would change it to be a little more understanding and accepting of itself and everyone else that lives in it!

If you could change anything in the poker world, what would it be?
I would change the poker world to be a more "respectable" society in the eyes of "society," and I would have all poker players clean up after themselves!
