1) All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices, which have large red read-outs to tell you exactly when it will go off.

2) Should you need to pass yourself off as a German officer it will not be necessary to speak the language, a convincing accent will do.

3) All apartments in Paris overlook the Eiffel tower.

4) Most lap top computers are powerful enough to override a bank security system or
the communication system of an invading alien civilization.

5) Every single person in martial arts Film has a black belt in karate.

6) When staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange noises in their most revealing underwear.

7) 1 man shooting at 20 men has more chance of hitting them than 20 men shooting at 1 man if he is the hero.

8) During a police investigation it will be necessary to visit a strip joint at least once.

9) Large studio-type apartments in big cities are affordable by single people with a low wage.

10) The entire British population lives in London.

11) It doesn't matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a martial arts fight; your enemies will attack you one at a time while the others dance around you menacingly.

12) In musicals everyone you meet in the street will know all the words to the songs and the steps to the dances.

13) When captured by an evil international terrorist, guns are not necessary to defeat them, sarcasm and wisecracks are your best weapons.

I am totally geeky and heavily into Ren Faire/Celtic music and filk, so I found a similar list regarding what old folksongs teach us to be even more hilarious.

No matter whether you have a single shot, 5 or 6 round revolver, 20 round or 30 round magazine, you will never need to reload during a firefight where you expend several hundred rounds....

In addition, they must have a Private going around and policeing up the brass since it is never lying around on the ground after the firefight.

Oh, and tobii- when you shoot a car with a pistol it (the car) explodes in a BIG ball of fire!!! Whee!

That's why gunners today only use 9mm's. Who needs a Ma Deuce?
