Hmm, for more stories about incidents like this, you may want to check out
the Shadowrun Archive and go to the Clue Foundation. The Articles are
hilarious (Actually, all the columns are pretty good, I really like
Conversations, if only they would be updated more often/regularly).

BTW- It wasn't Jett that was the Centaur, but another PC (NPC?) that was run
by the person who runs Jett IIRC.
