Bars/Drinking:
- When men drink whiskey, it is always in a shot glass, and they always drink it in one gulp. If they are wimps, they will gasp for air, then have a coughing fit. If they are macho, they will wince briefly, flashing clenched teeth.
- Every time some guy walks into a bar, usually the hero, he gets into a fight. Usually right under a BUDWEISER sign (see “product placement”). Likelihood of fight increases if country music is playing in the background.
- Movie Heroes in a bar will either order strong alcoholic drinks and swallow them down like iced tea or will ask for milk. The latter will always provoke sarcastic remarks and a fight will ensue.
- When a bored attractive woman takes a seat at the bar, she will always be joined within ten seconds by a man with no social skills whatsoever.
- A cup of black coffee/splash of cold water in face is enough to render the most inebriated person stone cold sober in a split second (see several thousand westerns, and “Peter’s Friends.”)
- If it’s a tavern in a western, some grizzled old fuck will spit tobacco juice in response to our hero entering.
- If it’s a western, bad guy will always pause immediately upon entering the tavern
