    If staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange noises wearing their most revealing underwear. If you are black and in a Sci-Fi movie, you will die first. If being chased through town, you can usually take cover in a passing St Patrick's Day parade - at any time of the year. All beds have special L-shaped top sheets that reach up to armpit level on a woman but only waist level on the man lying beside her. All grocery shopping bags contain at least one stick of French bread. It's easy for anyone to land a plane, providing there is someone in the control tower to talk you down. Once applied, lipstick will never rub off - even while scuba diving. The ventilation system of any building is a perfect hiding place. No one will ever think of looking for you in there and you can travel to any other part of the building without difficulty. You're likely to survive any battle in any war unless you make the mistake of showing someone a picture of you sweetheart back home. Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German officer, it will not be necessary to speak the language. A German accent will do. The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window of any building in Paris. People of TV never finish their drinks. A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds. The chief of police is always black. When paying for a taxi, never look at your wallet as you take out a note - just grab one at random and hand it over. During all police investigations, it will be necessary to visit a strip club at least once. Mothers routinely cook eggs, bacon and waffles for their family every morning, even though the husband and children never have time to eat them. Cars and trucks that crash will almost always burst into flames. Wearing a singlet or stripping to the waist can make a man invulnerable to bullets. Medieval peasants had perfect teeth. All single women have a cat. Any person waking from a nightmare will sit bolt upright and pant. Even when driving down a perfectly straight road, it is necessary to turn the steering wheel vigorously from left to right every few moments. If a phone line is broken, communication can be restored by frantically beating the cradle and saying, "Hello?, Hello?" Most people keep a scrapbook of newspaper cuttings - especially if any of their family or friends has died in a st

      Children, if left to their own devices, are quite capable of catching dangerous criminals/spies using an ingenious series of traps, or at least, an artfully misplaced skateboard. All word-processing software has advanced voice synthesis abilities that can read out what you are typing in your own voice. It is guaranteed that in any soap opera, if a man is seeing a woman with a younger sister, that man will sleep with both of them on the same night. Alien visitors to earth always fall into two camps - psychotically genocidal or annoyingly harmless and useless. They also have fantastic grasp of English once exposed to foreign language TV (usually Spanish).

        Paul, is there a fun script somewhere that dumps the blackboard text on your Einstein image? Like the rude one that's around somewhere. :)

          If a woman is running away from a monster/faceless fiend she will always trip and fall. The car will never start on the first try when said woman is running from said monster/faceless fiend. Infact it'll not crank up until the monster/fiend has reached the car and stuck a hand in. In a teen slasher flick the blond cheerleader will always be the first to die. Her rich brat boyfriend is usually next. Her clever plain-jane friend is usually the last (could survive) to be killed. ps: read these a long time ago on email..will post more of these as I remember them " Why oh why didn't I take the blue pill ? "

If a woman is running away in heels from a monster/faceless fiend she will always break the heel, trip and fall. When visting another planet or chunck of rock there will always be breathable air even on the dark side of the moon. When you want/need to find out about recent events, all you have to do is turn on the TV. Hair will always look perfect no matter if you have been wearing a helmet for the last few hourse, scuba diving, or wrestling the bad guy. All henchmen (PC version = henchpeople) have horrible aim and hand-to-hand fighting skills. Greba, My lack of content on my home page should be entertaining.
