Gather 'round and listen to a short story, after which you can mock me for being slow. Seriously.
Earlier tonight at D&D, a particular enemy struck a nasty hit on londo's character. Our DM chose to describe this as a dagger wound to the ribs. Due to the amount of hp damage done, londo's comment was, "One dagger, one rib, BIG hole." After this comment, a look of amazement crossed my face and I slowly collapsed onto my arms on the table, trying to muffle the fit of laughing I had just descended into.
