From Nostalgia Central:

1. It is always possible to find a parking spot directly outside or opposite the building you are visiting.

2. When paying for a taxi, don't look at your wallet as you take out a note. Just grab one out at random and hand it over. It will always be the exact fare.

3. Television news bulletins usually contain a story that affects you personally at the precise moment it's aired.

4. Creepy music (or satanic chanting) coming from a graveyard should always be closely investigated.

7. All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red digital displays so you know exactly when they are going to explode.

13. If staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange noises wearing their most revealing underwear.
