Probably the funniest thing I've seen actually happened just this weekend (the Saturday after Thanksgiving 2004).
A bounty hunter and his two TKM friends showed up at the front door of the guild I'd just recently joined. This happens to be one of the more Jedi-heavy guilds in the game, so a group of us saw these guys coming and were milling around the entrance in support of the player who was the BH's target. Well, after a few minutes of hissing and spitting at each other, the trio decides to take a shot at their target. They quickly realize it wasn't such a good idea to attack, and go swimming in the large nearby body of water to avoid being killed. Our Jedi followed them into the drink, but couldn't attack since they too were swimming. So, I pulled out my pet gleaming lantern bird and sicced him on them. They were out there, 'waay off in the distance, with my bird harassing them for a couple of minutes. All three of them were buffed, so it was obviously not doing them any great harm. Yet eventually they came swimming back to shore. Guess they got sick of my bird's obnoxious squawk or something. At any rate, one of them actually had the nerve to spit at my bird.
Well, then we started shooting at them again and one quickly went down, so back into the water the two survivors went. Only this time, I followed them. And I got lucky and stumbled acros a shallow section which enabled me to stand up and start shooting at them again. I incapped one of them with about six eyeshots, and left him floating in the water for my Padawan friend to perform the deathblow. And then I started chasing the third guy. Unfortunately, I couldn't find another sandbar, so I got out onto shore and stared at him swimming out of reach.
After a couple of minutes, my own buffs expired, so the tables turned and I went swimming, giving him a window of opportunity to leave the lake and make an escape attempt. I sent a tell to one of our Jedi Knights, who immediately hopped onto his swoop and motored over to where this third would-be assassin was mounting his bike. Last I saw of them, the guy was zipping off at top speed with our Knight in hot pursuit.
