What I Learned From TV - September 2

Each time I do a post about What I Learned From TV, I’ll begin with the explanation from the first posting:

Now that my kids are grown, and Tom has retired, I’ve been able to go back to my natural sleep pattern which is to stay up late and get up late. Tom’s natural rhythm is just the opposite. So, he’s the lark and I’m the owl. And what this owl does in the late hours is watch television- not in the traditional way but through Hulu, Netflix, TunnelBear, and Acorn TV. Most of the shows are British, though I am a great fan of a few American television shows, and have been watching some from other countries now that we have TunnelBear. Some of these shows Tom will watch in the mornings, but some of them are all mine. So, when I hear a great quote from a show I know he’s not going to watch, I’ll leave him little post-it notes near the computer keyboard. I had a notion this morning to begin a new ‘letter topic’ called What I Learned From TV so I can put up some virtual post-its for you to read and, hopefully, enjoy. Some are funny, some are educational, some are wise.

From Death in Paradise:

Common interest does not necessarily guarantee friendship.

and

How do you know if someone is lying to you? They use 'honestly' to start a sentence

From Bones:

Numerous studies have shown that profanity can be quite beneficial when used in moderation. Use of occasional profanity has been linked to increased circulation, elevated endorphins, and an overall sense of calmness.

From Boomers:

One man speaking to an old friend about his computer. "Look it found your house on Google Earth!"  The friend says, "Didn't know I'd lost it."

From Brokenwood Mysteries:

A police officer speaking of an 18-year-old who was "tweeting her little heart out. So little to say, so many opportunities to say it."
