<<boggle>> I do not recall EVER having an opponent do this in a game that
I was participating in! Could be I am just oblivious... I can not
conceive of being so wrapped up in the game that someone would do this.
To my eternal shame, in the excitement of the moment, I have been known to
snatch up dice from the table before my opponent saw 'em. I think that
this has always ben settled to the satisfaction of my opponent. Just
smack me upside the heada with a 2 by 4 and I learn! <<grin>>
As concerns the subject, I have been known to fling dice when excited
(much the amusement of the Augusta crowd), I even managed to get a die
hung up in a light fixture once, but I have never thrown 'em in anger,
just exuberance.
