2. It's easy for anyone to land a plane providing there is someone in the control tower to talk you down.
3. 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.
4. During all police investigations it will be necessary to visit a strip club at least once. The star stripper is usually a significant witness.
5. You're very likely to survive any battle in any war unless you make the mistake of showing someone a picture of your sweetheart back home.
6. Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German officer, it will not be necessary to speak the language. A German accent will do.
7. The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window in Paris.
8. A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds.
9. If a large pane of glass is visible, someone will be thrown through it before long.
10. When paying for a taxi, don't look at your wallet as you take out a bill just grab one at random and hand it over. It will always be the exact fare.
11. Kitchens don't have light switches. When entering a kitchen at night, you should open the fridge door and use that light instead.
12. If staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange noises in their most revealing underwear.
13. Mothers routinely cook eggs, bacon and waffles for their family every morning even though their husband and children never have time to eat it.
14. The Chief of Police will always suspend his star detective - or give him 48 hours to finish the job.
15. A single match will be sufficient to light up a room the size of RFK Stadium.
16. Medieval peasants had perfect teeth.
17. Any person waking from a nightmare will sit bolt upright and pant, and then have sex.
18. All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red readouts so you know exactly when they're going to go off.
19. It is always possible to park directly outside the building you are visiting.
20. 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.
21. When a person is knocked unconscious by a blow to the head, they will never suffer a concussion or brain damage.
22. No-one involved in a car chase, hijacking, explosion, volcanic eruption or alien invasion will ever go into shock.
23. Police Departments give their officers personality tests to make sure they are deliberately assigned a partner who is their total opposite. If members of the opposite sex, they will more often than not begin a sexual relationship before the case is solved. This improves their investigative powers.
24. You can always find a chainsaw when you need one.
25. Any lock can be picked by a credit card or a paper clip in seconds unless it's the door to a burning building with a child trapped inside.
