1. If staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange noises wearing their most revealing underwear. 2. If being chased through town, you can usually take cover in a passing St Patrick's Day parade at any time of the year. 3. It's easy for anyone to land a plane, providing there is someone in the control tower to talk you down. 4. Once applied, lipstick will never rub off even while scuba diving. 5. The ventilation system of any building is a 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 without difficulty. 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. A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds. 8. When paying for a taxi, never look at your wallet as you take out a note- just grab one at random and hand it over. It will always be the exact fare. 9. During all police investigations, it will be necessary to visit a strip club at least once. 10. Cars and trucks that crash will almost always burst into flames. 11. A single match will be sufficient to light up a room the size of a football stadium. 12. Medieval peasants had perfect teeth. 13. All single women have a cat. 14. One man shooting at 20 men has a better chance of killing them all than 20 men firing at one. 15. 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 predecessor. 16. When you turn out the light to go to bed, everything in your room will still be clearly visible, just slightly bluish. 17. Dogs always know who's bad and will naturally bark at them. 18. Rather than wasting bullets, megalomaniacs prefer to kill their arch-enemies using complicated machinery involvi…

If you didn't know, laying down several inches of asphalt in the middle of the road is absolutely the best way to repair the road

Otoh this is the most work my street has seen in 23 years.

When there's barely enough room to turn around, you know you've found an excellent roadside burger shack. Was not disappointed.
In the lower left corner is Kat's puffy pink sweater partially blocking an order counter and an impossibly narrow line of stools "Giant Burger" comprised of a 1/3lb burger patty, lettuce, onion, tomato on a fresh savory bun
