Yet another reason I love playing RPGs...

Me: "So guns don't work here, and I'm not close enough to punch it. Is there anything around here I can throw? Fire extinguisher? Potted plant?"
The GM: "No, it's just kind of a big, empty space. You're here, [the Hacker] and [the Big Guy] are here-"
Me: "Well, I guess I could throw [the Big Guy] at it."
All: *laugh*
Me: "...actually, yeah. I'm gonna throw [the Big Guy] at it."
Big Guy's Player: "Wait, what?"
Me: "I figure he has it coming after that last stunt."
Big Guy's Player: "Hey!"
Me: "Bah, you'll be fine. You're wearing a helmet."
The GM: *laughs* "It's like an inverse Fastball Special: the smallest member of the team scoops up the biggest member and throws him at the enemy."
Me: "What can I say? He's the heaviest thing within reach."
The GM: "Roll it. Plus three dice for making everyone laugh."
