Just play on.

You wouldn't believe what actually happened...

I guess O popped an immediate 6 and a 2, and then lots of aces and
sixes.
And, just before he rolled the last jumping 66 and with two or three
checkers on the bar, you missed the chance to still redouble him out.
And then you got closed out and lost a gammon.
And then you came here...
