Some years ago, I was in a group spending the day playing Paranoia. Towards the end, the GM made up his mind that one of the players, who had been irritating him, was going to lose a clone.

GM: Well, there's a 5% chance of you dying. Role a d20.
Player: [shake, rattle, role]. Hah! A 17. I'm safe!
GM: 17? That's just the number I was thinking of!

I believe the official Paranoia term for this was "hosed."
