You should have had Cagney and Lacy on speed dial!

Funniest thing on COPS. They rigged a car to be stolen and had a camera and radio controlled ignition kill and door locks. Before the cops even got to the car, the perp was repeating (practicing) I didn't do it, I didn't do it! As he sat at the wheel of a car he just stole!

Oooooh! <hand waving profusely> That all depends on where you're from... I was watching the programme "QI" just last night and this very question was posed.

Bomb makers go by a strict color code, and the blue wire is always the one you cut to disarm it.
All bombs have a digital countdown timer.

The most powerful explosives are brightly colored liquids and are kept in see-through containers, often bearing sets of shiny appendages.

People exchanging gunfire indoors can hear each other quite clearly as soon as the shooting stops.

Bad guy boss can absorb magazines-full of ammo and have enough breath to give a two minute speech.

A little cross-over here.

Put your nuts out on the driveway - drive on them - it will remove the husks

To crack your nuts - lay them on a wooden block - ask your wife to whack them with a meat tenderizer

If you wash your nuts to remove the goo - be sure to lay them out to dry or they may rot
