Kind of like Jeffrey Dahmer having the cajones to tell the cops that Konerak was his drunken lover.
Oh, never mind, that actually worked didn't it? Guess sometimes cajones are all you need if people aren't smart enough to question the lie.
But Tom Cruise? Michael Douglas? These guys made many movies in which they always triumphed over all odds. Brains? Muscles? Skill? Naaaaaaaaaaaaah, they just always had bigger cajones than the other guy (at least according to the script).
Life actually does work that way (sometimes).
