Of coarse.  The last one I tangled with was such a PIMA that when the owner 
and the Sheriff (I heard the books didn't balance by a 5 digit figure) came 
in to escort him out, I told him to make sure the doorknob didn't hit him 
in the rear.  I was that close to going postal with that consummate jerk.  
The GM we've had for the last 12 years now is cool though, and he has 
common sense, when we aren't pulling each others chain just to get into a 
yelling match that entertains the rest of the troops.  Its one he knows he 
can't win now that I'm officially retired too, but we can sure make lots of 
noise over nothing worth yelling about other than general principles.
