This explains a bit of a movie I saw recently.  A tough cop was 
staring down at a bank robber; the criminal was clearly considering
reaching for his gun.  The cop said:
	I don't rightly remember whether I've taken five or six
	shots.  But considering that this is the Puff-Pusher 666,
	the most powerful cotton ball accelerator ever made, the
	question you have to ask yourself is, "Do I feel lucky?"
