[WW] Ok, Can I Laugh @...

Ok, can i laugh @ my players and not loose face as a GM?
tonight's game went with a hitch. <to sum up>. PC's sent behind enemy lines 
to "eliminate" an SS officer. they discovered (last game) he has a house 
(with a woman) in town as well as at nearby fighter base. their scouts raid 
the house, capture what tthey have (correctly) determined to be a body 
double and the officers female "friend". they take the female with them into 
the woods ("<begin singing> ...and out of the woods and home before dark! 
<end singing>") and their LT starts interrogating her without success (the 
player is about as intimidating as a hot fudge sunday. nice guy, old friend, 
but cannot even playact mean). so he makes a rude comment to her. she slaps 
him. he punches her back (AND MISSES!). NPC's start to smile. he calls over 
his Exec (Cpl). he punches her (AND MISSES ?!?!?!?). NPC's start to giggle. 
he try's to put her in a grapple/break arm behind back (opposed roll: his 
13/hers 17). FAILURE AGAIN. the men are now laughing openly (including the 
other PC's). at length they gave up and turned her over to the maquis. exit 
german female in nothing but night shirt (oh, did i mention that when they 
first captured her they pistol whipped her KO in the middle of the night?). 
laughed the whole drive home i did. if only they knew the rest about their 
former captive...

<insert ironic insightful doom music here>

so how are all your games going? he hee heee
