Let's talk about gnomes...

[Texan in Mexico]

The Gnomes can be very powerful beings.

In my one of the most comprehensive economic books written, The Money Game, they talk about the power the Swiss Gnomes have. You see they control the gold bullion in Switzerland thereby controlling many of the world's currencies and possibly affecting national elections and public policy in most of the Western world.

So in other worlds, treat him with respect and ask him if he has any family in Switzerland.
