No, you write:

[some code.
 that might.
 explode here: youKnow.
 andMore stuff.
]
  on: SpontaneousCombustionException
  do: [:ex | Transcript show: 'Explosion detected'; cr].

And then if any of the code you call in that first block throws
a SpontaneousCombustionException, you get into your second block.
