This is amusing.....  because in Fortress of Fear it mentions that when a
person get's 10 grit that they get a visit from Stone himself or his cadre
of hero-killers.

"Okay Frank - lets go over the body count checklist."
" 'Kay"
"Los Diablos?
"Barbequed"
"Stone's assasin's?"
"Whatta ya think we started the BBQ with?"
"Good.   Demons from Hell?"
"They were last week."
"Mock Raven?"
"Under the boulder over there."
"Black Regiment?"
"Routed, and I wonder if the Captain pulled that horn outta his..."
"Frank!  Stick to business.  Revenant?
"Check"
"Psycho black magic using Hucksters?"
"Check"
"Grimme's Angels?"
"Check"
"Santa Anna's army?"
"Check"
"Cannibal Rangers?"
"Check"
"And 148 assorted bounty hunters?"
"Check"

"That outta do it.  Damn, Frank, I'm thinking it's time to retire.  I mean,
do you really want to be around when we get Grit point 15?!?"
"Nope Joe, I don't want to see that.  But I got me one last thing to do."
"What's that Frank?"
"I'm gonna get that greasy little Easterner that was handing out the
numbers and crying 'Next!' "

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Troi: 
It was running...running away from...no, escaping...oh, Captain, it was
fleeing from such -pain-!
(and you wonder why I don't like post Kirk Star Trek, ed. note)
