TV taught me everything I need to know

[rhubarbodendron]

the only thing TV taught me is that it's usually best to switch it off.
I hate being told by others (especially on a screen) what to do and what not to. I go my own ways in life. Occasionally, one is mined. Still, there always are a few that lead straight up to the most wonderful places in the world.

From M*A*S*H, I learned who Adolphe Menjou was.

I learned that if the police are chasing me I can just jump my car across a pond or through a barn and it'll survive perfectly fine the pursuing police may crash but they'll weather the experience okay.

But I have been watching Dukes of Hazzard on DVD this week.

Horrific and fatal wounds can be cured with some bandages and a single night's rest.

Cheers taught me that Albania borders on the Adriatic.

You can build an urban assault tank out of crap you find in the garage. (A-Team)

Anyone want to get into all the interesting stuff McGuyver taught us?

I can't even count all the new and interesting ways that Burn Notice has taught me how to blow things up! (Side note: Never tick off a slightly insane woman with a large arsenal!)

I'm shocked nobody's said this yet: NEVER WEAR A RED SHIRT!!!

Some Things I Learned from The A-Team:

If you're punched in the face, the black eye will heal and disappear in a matter of hours.

That you can drive around in a 1983 GMC 1/2 ton customized van with a bright red stripe on it---and no one will recognize it 90% of the time, even if you are America's most wanted fugitives.

Even Mr. T can be completely disguised if you simply dress him like a waiter.

A helicopter can strike a cliff face, tumble to the ground and explode, and the passengers can still climb out relatively unscathed.

If a Plymouth strikes a parked car, it will fly into the air and completely flip over, every time.

That no one in the MPs, FBI or local police force can shoot worth a damn, since they never, EVER hit their targets.

Being mentally ill is just a personality quirk, and is often very amusing.

All you need is the right hat and a clipboard and people will automatically believe anything you say.

Also from the A-team Its very easy to break someone out of a mental hospital.

All I learned from watching TV is that anything that looks remotely funny I shouldn't try at home...
