40 THINGS THAT ONLY HAPPEN IN MOVIES

Tell A Friend

In honor of tonight's Oscars, here are 40 things that only happen in movies ~ and many of them happened in this years best picture THE DEPARTED.

Things such as .....

1. It is always possible to find a parking spot directly outside or opposite the building you are visiting.

2. When paying for a taxi, don't look at your wallet as you take out a note. Just grab one out at random and hand it over. It will always be the exact fare. . .


3. Television news bulletins usually contain a story that affects you personally at the precise moment it's aired.

4. Creepy music (or satanic chanting) coming from a graveyard should always be closely investigated.

5. Any lock can be picked with a credit card or paperclip in seconds. unless it's the door to a burning building with a child inside.

6. If you decide to start dancing in the street, everyone you bump into will know all the steps.

7. All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red digital displays so you know exactly when they are going to explode.

8. Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German officer, it will not be necessary to learn to speak German. Simply speaking English with a German accent will do. Similarly, when they are alone, all German soldiers prefer to speak English to each other.

9. Once applied, lipstick will never rub off. Even while scuba diving.

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

11. Any police officer about to retire from the force will more often than not die on their last day (especially if their family have planned a party). (Caveat: Detectives can only solve a case after they have been suspended from duty).

12. Getaway cars will never start on the first attempt . But all cop cars do. (They will also slide to a dramatic stop in the midst of a crime scene).

Got You!

I only read this because I wanted to tell you which one is not true. I finally found it, almost asleep, at Nr. 40....and then it tells you, that trucks do 'toot' in real life. Thanks a lot! Katrin PS: It's hard to believe that they could be as smart as I am
