Everyone in the Nevada Gaming Commission calls Gene Trimble first to get his approval. Its not very well known, but Gene holds them all in the palm of his hand. Without Gene, all of Nevada Gambling as we know it would come to a screeching halt.

It's also for this reason that we, the chippers of the world, have learned to give Gene plenty of compliments. Here are a few examples that you may wish to practice:

Hi Gene, hey...are you losing weight??

So, Gene, are you planning anything big for your next birthday? You'll be 32 right?
Gene, that's an awfully manly looking moustache you have there...its just like the one Tom Selleck has!

Gene, I saw a movie last night that had an actor that could be your brother. You and Pierce Brosnan could be brothers!
