-Try "golly gee willikers, did I forget to mention that those mil-rats are 
irradiated.  Sorry folks, but I'm afraid that you all have just picked up a 
nasty case of the Glows.  Oh, and by the way, next time you all decide to 
show the Marshal just how clever you are, I'd remember that he has the power 
to put you on Stone's hit list.  Now, I'd get moving, if I were you, I think 
there's a Hellstorm brewing."
You're right, that's really mean, but your players need to realize you're 
the one calling the shots.  Any corrections they may have should come AFTER 
the game session, NEVER DURING.  It ruins the flow of the whole evening.  If 
you're gonna be expected to remember every little tidbit and possible 
interpretation of the rules, and more importantly if you allow them the 
power to override you whenever they think they're right, they're going to 
ultimately ruin the game.  I'm speaking from experience, friend.
Trust me on this one, keep them in their place, and if they bitch about it, 
find a new posse.
