The second was many years later, in 3.5. Same player but this time playing Mr. Uber Paladin (was level 22 odd I think). We bust into this Mages tower and starting fighting the varied array of bizarre monsters, not that much of a challenge for us. one one of the critters gets lucky with some spell on the paladin and he takes 55 odd damage in a single hit. Thinking about the save from massive damage one of the other players says "Dont worry about it man you have awesome saves, just dont roll a 1....."
And those are classic tropes incarnated.
1. Never, ever comment your lucky survival before the end of the day.
2. Never, ever invoke any variant of "What could possiby go wrong?" phrase.
