Heh heh. Our GM makes statements like this all the time :)

With regard to 'behavior modification' for players, sometimes subtle just
doesn't work. In our last session my bioware sammie ended up with a bigtime
insect bite on the tip of his...well, one of the few portions of his anatomy
without orthoskin ...for humor at the GM's expense <evil pc grin>. This just
doesn't work since it's the character with the itch and not me. On the other
hand, when the headhunter's arrows and blowgun darts start coming out of the
bush with great frequency and accuracy I'm much more well behaved... Terry

Yeah, you perked up for a few minutes there. But that was followed pretty
quickly with a period of prolonged unconciousness, as I recall ;-)
