THINGS I LEARNED FROM THE MOVIES

  • The ventilation system of any building is the 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 you want without difficulty.
  • If you need to reload your gun, you will always have more ammunition - even if you haven't been carrying any before now.

  • You're very likely to survive any battle in any war unless you make the mistake of showing someone a picture of your sweetheart back home.

  • If your town is threatened by an imminent natural disaster or killer beast, the mayor's first concern will be the tourist trade or his forthcoming art exhibition.

  • The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window in Paris.

  • If a large pane of glass is visible, someone will be thrown through it before long.

  • All telephone numbers in America begin with the digits 555.

  • When paying for a taxi, don't look at your wallet as you take out a bill just grab one at random and hand it over.  It will always be the exact fare.

  • When they are alone, all foreigners prefer to speak English to each other.

  • You can always find a chainsaw when you need one.
