A guy will take (and deliver) a savage beating that would send you and me to the hospital for weeks. After they have finished the beating, they will wince like a wuss when their cuts are being cleaned.

35. During all police investigations it will be necessary to visit a strip club at least once.

Well, duh!

Kitchen tables and credenzas are never cluttered with junk mail. Even bachelor apartments are spic-and-span clean.

Nobody ever smokes in a movie / TV bar

Women of "questionable virtue" always smoke.

Well, it was easy when I worked in Dallas. When I worked in tiny little Keego Harbor, Michigan, I often had to drive 40 miles away to solve crimes.

Hi, yankeedame:

You forgot:

The hero can survive beating the snot out of six bad guys and will always wind up being shot in the upper-arm/ shoulder. The hero will stoically sit still while the heroine bandages him up, but will inevitably wince when either a bandage, alcohol or fingertips are applied to the shoulder wound.

The gruff, been-there-done that infantry Sergeant's Thompson sub-machine gun will never jam, need to have its magazine changed, and will be able to hit targets more than 100 yards away. Vic Morrow's Sgt. Saunders did this for years during ABC's "Combat!".

The Hot Girl's kinda plain looking, smart best friend will be the first to die in a slasher film.

Jack.

How about this? In the movies:

Love wins out over all.

When fleeing from a vehicle that is trying to run them down, a victim will always run down the middle of the street. Cars are not much faster than humans, so it takes the car about a minute to catch up with the runner even though the runner only had about a thirty foot head start. The car will always turn on it's headlights first to warn the victim what it is about to do. The victim will never have a weapon and will never think to try to dodge the car or run behind a building.

Diving head-first through a window is fun and safe!
