You can fire guns on campus, and play paintball and no security guard will stop you.

reply

Female CIA agents will have sex with you if you help them smuggle film.

reply

Female CIA agents receive no weapons training and have to depend on a college kid for defense while being chased on a college campus.

1. East German money is no good in West Germany.
2. Hot, stuck-up blonde chicks will flip you off if you stain their sweater then ask them out.
3. DDR checkpoint guards are not like campus police.
4. You can evade someone pursuing you by leading them into an old building, climb to the top floor then go down a fire escape.
5. Avec de l'eau (pronounced "a victor who") means "with water".
6. No sleeping on public benches in Germany.
7. No loitering in front of butcher shops in East Germany.
8. If you can not pay, you can not stay!
9. A German Rent-A-Wreck will be French Citroen Deux Chevaux.
10. The CIA will not give out their local address to the public.

In the eighties :

Russians always are dressed like people from the French resistence during WW II
and CIA always dressed in a suit.

KGB couldn't shoot handguns for sh!!t
Despite losing CIA between the bonaventure & UCLA the KGB will still know exactly where you are
Being shot with a sernalyn dart will cause you to fire any gun aimlessly, half the time

1) How to say "My crayon is big and yellow" in French
2) Mexican maids are stupid but unfailingly loyal
3) You can plan and book a trip to Europe even if you don't have your parents' permission up until the last minute
4) German punk rockers think everything American is cool and will do anything for a US tourist, even if he's condescending to them
5) Russian operatives will fire into a group of school children
6) You can get from Berlin to Hamburg to LA with nothing more than some DDR change and general plane tickets
7) If you get shot by a tranquilizing dart gun you will hurl yourself off a campus balcony face forward
8) film with "spy sh!t" on it will survive dousing in water even if a Nikon won't
9) A woman who is young, gorgeous, sexually liberated, speaks several languages, is internationally savvy and works as a foreign agent can barely afford tuition to Berkeley's film school
10) If you release a soundtrack to a semi-popular 80's movie but take it off the market and make it hard to get, it becomes worth a lot of money (see also: "Just One Of The Guys")

5) Russian operatives will fire into a group of school children

_____________________________________________________________________

They murdered millions of human beings. I doubt KGB operatives would give a single thought to firing into a group of school children.

1 German pastries can be lethal!

2 When being chased by KGB agents a large moat is your best means of escape.

3 Nothing screams international espionage like "Frankie goes to Hollywood".

4 East German border agents are more concerned with your tattered copy of Juggs
magazine than with any rolls of film u may have.

5 If you see a mercedes in LA it is probably full of russian spies.

6 Driving from Paris to Berlin takes only about 4 seconds.

7 Paris is the best place to lose your weerginity if u play paintball.

8 KGB operatives would have much better marksmanship if they played paintball with american college students.

9 Women with short hair simply cannot be trusted.

10 German punk rockers started Cirque du Soleil.

Burger Kings in Berlin have real American cheese on hand. And American fries.
For ten deutschmarks you can see the most beautiful women in the world.
Women bleed thin tomato sauce when shot by Russian spymasters.

On an unrelated note, I can now talk in great detail about my pencil, should the need ever arise, in French.

Taxis in France are "cheapeur, fasteur and much, much safeur"

reply

Professors of veterinary medicine at UCLA don't normally show off their tigers to big undergraduate lecture classes, but profs will make an exception if they can demonstrate how to shoot a sick tiger in the butt with a tranquilizer gun. Exactly what students are supposed to learn from this demonstration is still something of a mystery -- unless it's how to break into the tranq gun cabinet, so you can use it when evil Russian agents are chasing you.

reply

Also, KGB agents didn't have any problem catching a flight to the U.S. and getting through immigration and customs at LAX in the 80s.
