Oh yeah - I'm looking forward to it. . .

DM: "The NPC, having reloaded his pistol twice and emptied his shotgun into 
you, being out of ammo now swings his shotgun and hits for 5 points of 
damage.  How many hitpoints do you have left?"

Player:"32."

DM: "And what do you do?"

Player: "I take out the third bundle of dynamite and again stuff it down 
the npc's pants.  I do. . . 19 points of damage."

DM "Okay - that third bundle dropped him to -4 hitpoints, he is now 
bleeding and unconscious at your feet. . . "
