Have you ever learned anything from a TV show or movie that you applied in everyday life?

[mikeyboy]

Have you ever learned any fact from a TV show or movie that had any application in your own life? I'm excluding shows that are purposely educational (like certain PBS shows) from this discussion, because, well, the point in those cases is expressly to educate viewers. I'm focusing more on those TV shows or movies that have no agenda to educate, but for some reason, you have taken something away from that show or movie that has been of some benefit to you in your own life.

For instance, when I got married, I did so in Maryland. I knew ahead of time that in Maryland you're not required to get a blood test in order to get a marriage license. Why did I know this? Because John Candy put forth this piece of information in the movie "Splash"

Anyone else?

On "Leave it to Beaver", Eddie Haskel "dropped out " to work at a gas station or something. He was "flashing the cash" around. I asked my dad if $70? $100? a week was "a lot of money". He let me know it was "enough that ,'after you contribute your share' for room and board, there would still be enough to enjoy yourself while you were at school". So a portion of my "caddy money" paid for my H.S. tuition.

I also learned how take a booby-trapped object by replacing it with it a precisely weighed bag of sand while avoiding a giant boulder and poisionous arrows. I apply this knowledge when not wanting to pay for a Slurpee.

I learned from Kelly on "Saved By the Bell" that if life hands you lemons make lemonade.

I learned that it's OK to cheat and everyone does it and usually gets away with it....if you get caught - always deny.


Loved that episode mojo.

In "Goldfinger", James Bond plays a round of golf with a "Penfold Heart". (penfold golf balls aren't numbered, they have "suits"). They aren't sold in this country (the USGA considered them illegal) When I got to play at St. Andrews (where the R&A thought they were OK) I bought a sleeve and "had a ball."

<font color=purple>Then consider this your final exam:

1) what was used in lieu of a scalpel?

2) what was used as the actual trache?

ok..this is really sappy but:
in the movie Adaptation when the dude says "You are what you love, not what loves you".

ie. who cares what people think about you, stop trying to please everyone and live for today.

1) A Tom Mix pocket knife

2) The eyedropper (with the end clipped of course)
