...in every movie and TV show, all the faxes come out of their machines 27 times faster than they do out of mine?

Possibly their fax machines are bigger than yours. I'm sorry.

OP, you have a tiny, insignificant fax machine that will never be able to properly please a woman.
You should immediately recruit a REAL MAN who has a fax machine capable of "Getting the job done" if ya know what I mean *wink wink*
Then you will be bound and forced to watch how a REAL fax performs as it spits out literally reams of paper over and over driving her to literary exstacy.

For that matter, how do the police always solve the crime they are looking at, and how come the bad guy always confesses, and how come those nurses never seem to do any work and get away with it, and how come those student doctors only see two patients a day, and how come Sheldon doesn't get punched at least once every show?

I want to know how they always manage to find a parking spot right in front of the place they're coming to visit.

The only thing ever portrayed realistically on television was Wile E. Coyote's constant problems with the unreliability of mail order products.

How come after sex the women can just roll over and go to sleep - apparently without "stuff" oozing everywhere. And how they can wake up and not kill their partner with zackly breath.

how come in all the medical and crime shows, people will wear gloves while touching a dead body or a at a crime scene...but will then reach into their pocket to get their cell phone, or their glasses, or they'll brush back a stray strand of hair with their gloved hands...ewww. I thought they had people on set whose job it is to make sure it's as realistic as possible...how could they miss that?

Oh and why does morning breath seem to turn people on in movies and tv shows? Everyone starts making out as soon as they wake up. Jeez, at least pop a tic tac.

Also, the number of women who keep their bras on while having sex just astounds me ;-)

What I want to know is how, in any gun fight in westerns, they can fire so many bullets and never have to reload, not to mention the snipers in any movie that makes a perfect head shot time after time (considering snipers are trained to shoot center mass and avoid the head shot if possible.)

How about the high speed chases where the criminal and the cop never hit another car while racing through busy intersections, unless of course it is a comedy, then they cant miss anything.

Or the fact that women answer the door right out of bed without a hair out of place and as pointed out, perfect makeup.

Why, in every episode of every star trek related series did NO ONE ever go to the bathroom? Anyone remember Kirk ever saying "I gotta take a dump"

If there's a will, I want to be in it. Please take me back.
