Thank you but we called it quits some time ago. However, I will leave you with one last cliche.
A beautiful young woman is in love with a seemingly perfect guy who either doesn't notice her or dates her but won't commit. She decides to go all out in an attempt to get him to notice her or commit. In the course of this campaign she meets a guy who at first seems totally wrong for her. Sure enough she falls for the new guy in a few days and drops the perfect guy because he suddenly shows major faults she's never noticed before, even though she's known him for a long time. She then goes off with the new guy seemingly unconcerned that he may have major faults too. -

Did you know that there are specialist shops who sell attache cases specially designed for money laundering, payment of contract killers etc. You go into one of these shops and tell the shop owner that you have $250,000 in $100 bills to launder and you need an attache case. The man will then produce a case in which the $250,000 will fill the case to the top and all the bundles will be exactly level and there will not even be half an inch of space to spare on the sides.
How do I know this???? Well there has to be such shops, have you ever seen a movie where an attache case full of money doesn't fit exactly???? I have yet to find one of these shops but I will keep trying. -

Let me know when you do. In the meantime I will keep looking for those silencers on handguns that make supersonic speed pistol shots sound like whispers, instead of like a large book hitting the floor from a ten-foot drop, like real silencers sound.

In the Columbo episode 'Lady in Waiting' Beth Chadwick shoots and kills her brother when he enters her house thru the French Windows claiming that she mistook him for a criminal. A Coroner's inquest is held and closes with a verdict of accidental death, so how come that the extremely annoying Lt Columbo is still obsessed with the case and continues harassing the poor woman and almost drives her into a breakdown?
Also why doesn't the Lieutenant's boss in the LAPD call him into his office and tell him -'Listen lieutenant this case is over, finished, closed. There are these unsolved murders in Watts, go and investigate them' -

Have you ever noticed that the so-called "kick-ass" heroines in adventure and super-hero movies and TV are usually able to take out a gang of 20 male opponents in 30 seconds, without taking one punch, even if they don't have super-powers? But what really gets me is that when they face a female villain, she's almost always a superb fighter too, and gives the heroine a tremendous fight, often landing hard-hitting punches.
Of course, the heroine always wins, and 10 seconds later, her hair is perfectly combed, her lipstick isn't smeared, and there's not a mark on her.
Also, how come nobody ever sues the super-heroes for excessive force or negligence when buildings are destroyed and innocent people are killed or injured? -

Why is it cowboys never seem to be carrying anything but a thin rolled up blanket and two small saddle bags that look flat behind their saddles? Yet, when they're camping for the night they have a full bedroll, a coffee pot full of coffee, a cooking pot, metal plates, eating utensils, and plenty of meat and beans.
Why do lawyers in most movies and television shows spend almost all their time in court when in real life, they spend very little time in court rooms? They're usually looking over papers in their offices or negotiating settlements and deals with other lawyers in conference rooms.
Also, why is it criminal defense attorneys always seem to weed out the real criminal in the court room and either get them to confess, demand a lawyer, take the fifth, or sit in stunned silence? In real life that happens very rarely, and when it does, it's usually the prosecutor who does it.
Also, a common scene in movies and television is for the hero to brilliantly show how the murderer's airtight alibi isn't so perfect and demonstrate how he could have committed the crime. At that point, the criminal immediately either runs or confesses, the idiot. Sure the hero showed how he could have committed the crime that way, but he presented no evidence or witnesses that prove beyond reasonable doubt that the killer did do it. All the killer has to do is smile and say, That's a real convoluted, interesting theory you have there, Counselor. Do you have any proof? Usually, they don't.
