Things I've learned from the Movies
- Large, loft-style apartments in New York City are well within the price range of most people-whether they are employed or not.
- At least one of a pair of identical twins is born evil.
- Should you decide to defuse a bomb, don't worry which wire to cut. You will always choose the right one.
- Most laptop computers are powerful enough to override the communications system of any invading alien society.
- It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts-your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around in a threatening manner until you have knocked out their predecessors.
- When you turn out the light to go to bed, everything in your bedroom will still be clearly visible, just slightly bluish.
- Rather than wasting bullets, megalomaniacs prefer to kill their archenemies using complicated machinery involving fuses, pulley systems, deadly gasses, lasers, and man-eating sharks, which will allow their captives at least 20 minutes to escape.
- All beds have special L-shaped cover sheets that reach up to the armpit level on a woman but only to waist level on the man lying beside her.
- All grocery shopping bags contain at least one loaf of French bread.
- Once applied, makeup will never rub off-even while scuba diving.
- Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German or Russian officer, it will not be necessary to speak the language. A German or Russian accent will do. (It used to be an English accent for the German.)
- A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds.
- If staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange noises in their most revealing underwear.
- All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red readouts so you know exactly when they're going to go off.
- If you decide to start dancing in the street, everyone you meet will know all the steps.
- When they are alone, all foreign military officers prefer to speak to each other in English.
