Hehehehe. A pair of my groups runners (an Ork Sammy and a Snake shaman)
broke into a building, sneaked past the guards, managed to make it up the
stairs to the fifth floor without being seen, and knock the guard cold inside
the door to the game producers offices. Then the Ork sammy turns to the
snake shaman and says;

"Great! Now what does this game thingy look like?"
Shaman; "Buggered if I know. It's probably on a chip."
Sammy; "Hmmmm"
player turns to GM and says "Ok, I'm looking around the room for a chip."
GM (amid gales of laughter); "You see hundreds of them lying round loose
inside the booths beyond the counter. All of them plain black."
Sammy player; "Oops."
