Granularity in a coup-de-grace rule can be unintentionally hilarious.

There's a Monty Python sketch where a guy is about to be executed by firing squad. The commander does a countdown, the music intensifies, we get terrified closeups of the victims, the camera cuts away, shots ring out, a flock of birds scatters noisily, and offscreen, in John Cleese's unmistakable Russian accent, the commander exclaims...

"How could you miss?!'

:D
