Dogs always know who's bad and will naturally bark at them

also..

Large loft-style apartments in New York City are well within the price range of most people - whether they are employed or not

If you think that you're a clone or robot, or that someone you know is, you're probably right. (Blade Runner, Sixth Day, Stepford Wives, Imposter, Austin Powers).

You should always pick the nice girl over the slutty one (Vanilla Sky, Shark Tale, Shallow Hal).

Wise words were spoken by my gf's sister once.

Every guy desires the nice and innocent girl in public but a slutty one in the bedroom.

I did not wish to disagree.

If anybody ever pulls a gun on you, they are more likely to tell you their boring life's story than to kill you.

The same super marksman who can put three shots through a dime at 100 yards in practice,
can't hit the hero with a 100 shots.

"Those kids in Friday the Thirteenth and those movies are so stupid. They walk straight into death, you know? It's like...

::thump::

'Hello, is anybody in here? Hello?'

::creepy noise::

'Come on you guys, this ain't funny...'

::creepy noise getting louder::

'...Billy?'

::creepy noise getting louder::

'I'm gonna get naked and take a shower guys. What's goin' on?'

::thump, echo::

'Someone's behind that door!...'

::creepy noise::

'...I better check it out, see who it is. It could be one of my friends.

::is killed::'

God, people in horror movies are so stupid.

I could have sworn I put in a "Copyright 200something Pablo Francisco" at the beginning of the post.

Here's some you missed:


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

The ventilation system of any building is the perfect hiding place. No one will ever think of looking for you in there and you can travel to any other part of the building you want without difficulty.

A single match will be sufficient to light up a room the size of Wembley Stadium.

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

It does not 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 out their predecessors.

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

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

Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German you need not speak the language. A German accent will do.

The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window in Paris.

A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating but will wince in agony when a woman tries to clean his wounds.

If being chased through town, you can usually take cover in a passing St. Patrick's Day parade- at any time of the year.

All grocery shopping bags contain at least one stick of French bread.

It's easy for anyone to land a plane, providing there is someone in the control tower to talk you down.

Once applied, lipstick will never rub off - even while scuba diving.

Medieval peasants had perfect teeth.

Any person waking from a nightmare will sit bolt upright and pant.

Most people keep a scrapbook of newspaper cutting - especially if any of their family or friends has died in a strange boating accident.

When you turn out the light to go to bed, everything in your room will still be clearly visible, just slightly bluish.

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

Action heroes never face charges for manslaughter or criminal damage despite laying entire cities to waste.

No matter how badly a spaceship is attacked, its internal gravity system is never damaged.

All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red readouts so you know exactly when they're going to go off.

All telephone numbers in America begin with the digits 555.

If your town is threatened by an imminent natural disaster or killer beast, the mayor's first concern will be the tourist trade or his forthcoming art exhibition.

At least one of a pair of identical twins is born evil.

Honest and hard working policemen are traditionally gunned down three days before their retirement.

If you are blonde and pretty, it is possible to become a world expert on nuclear fission at the age of 22.

If you're in high school and against all odds, you become popular and well liked, a slow clap and standing ovation is in your future (every film about high school ever made).

Regardless of how dangerous a trip has become, if you find yourself having fun, no one will die. (National Lampoon's Vacation, Road Trip, Planes. Trains, and Automobiles, Just Married, Without a Paddle).

That is, unless you meet a stranger (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Hitchhiker, Joy Ride, Deliverance, Cabin Fever).


LUCAAAAS!
