From My Inbox to You...

A friend of mine just sent me this list. A lot of it's probably familiar, but I thought it was extremely funny, anyway, and figured I'd pass it along. So:


THINGS YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW WITHOUT THE MOVIES

-It is always possible to park directly outside any building you are visiting.

-A detective can only solve a case once he has been fired from his job.

-If you decide to start dancing in the street, everyone you bump into will know all the steps.

-Most laptop computers are powerful enough to override the communication systems of any invading alien civilization.

-It doesn't 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 them out.

-When a person is knocked unconscious by a blow to the head, they will never suffer a concussion or brain damage.

-No one involved in a car chase, hijacking, explosion, volcanic eruption or alien invasion will ever go into shock.

-Police Departments give their officers personality tests to make sure they are deliberately assigned a partner who is their total opposite.

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

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

-Any lock can be picked by a credit card or a paper clip in seconds, unless it's the door to a burning building with a child trapped inside.

-An electric fence, powerful enough to kill a dinosaur will cause no lasting damage to an eight-year-old child.

-Every time a person turns on the television to see the news, he instantly sees what he wants and what concerns him.
