What I've Learned . . .

Three things I have learned from watching movies:

-The good guys have great aim while the bad guys have terrible aim.
-When eating out, order a big meal, nibble on it and then leave.

Three things I have learned from watching commercials:

-There is an orgazmic kind of joy when you eat certain food, like buffalo wings and seafood.
-A reality show is not a reality show unless "Oh my God!" is said.
-Smiles and bright lighting equal happiness.
