Fish of Cut Bait
Things We Learn From Movies

I was cleaning out my email files today after receiving one of
those "Your mailbox is full" messages and came across
one I received back in 1998. Yes, I have files that are seven
years old, and, no, I don't know why I keep them. Anyway, given
the bad news I've had to deal with last month, I thought I'd
share some humor with you. I don't know who to attribute these
to, but whoever he or she is, we share the same wit.
- Every police investigation
requires at least one visit to a strip club.
- All beds have specially designed
L-shaped sheets that reach up to armpit level on a woman, but
only to waist level on the man lying beside her.
- Anyone can land a plane as
long as there is someone in the control tower to talk them down.
- A man can take a ferocious
beating with no evidence of pain, but always winces when a woman
cleans even the smallest cut.
- Even when driving down a perfectly
straight road, it is necessary to jerk the steering wheel from
left to right every few moments.
- At least one identical twin
must be born evil.
- Detectives can only solve
cases after they've been suspended.
- If you start spontaneously
dancing in the street, everyone you meet will know all of the
steps.
- If you ever need to defuse
an explosive device, don't worry about which wire to cut; you
will always choose the correct one.
- If you are outnumbered in
a martial arts fight, don't worry, your opponents will only attack
you one at a time.
- When you turn out the lights
in your bedroom, everything remains visible, but with a slightly
bluish tint.
- When alone, all foreigners
prefer to speak English to one another.
- If you are blonde and pretty,
you can become a world-renowned expert in nuclear fusion by age
22.
- All honest, hard-working policemen
are gunned down three days before retirement.
