09. Bennie sure has a nose for sh!t.

14. If your girlfriend tells you she's too busy to see you three nights in a row, she's cheating on you.

15. A road trip to steal a dead man's head is a good time to finally tell your girlfriend you want to marry her.

And do it nicely. Some critics felt the scene with Benny and Imelda at the base of the tree was poorly written. It was wonderfully written --as realistic as two people would talk to each other this way. An American and a Mexican, trying to live life. But just two people, (both musical--he the piano, she the guitar) that were treated without respect by both the criminal and 'normal' world. And Benny's proposal of marriage was said at the base of a tree, painted to keep away urinating dogs. Their love triumphs!

I liked this film, but I like these kinds of post just as much. So...

16. Wait for the tourists to go by before anyone starts shooting again.

17. Contrary to what the thugs thought, a spade to the head doesn't kill Bennie.

18. Bennie talks to the dead much easier than the living.

19. If a boy asks what you have in a sack, tell him it's a dead animal instead of a human head. He'll let it go.

20. Alfredo Garcia got around. Literally and figuratively. And even after he died.

21. Sam Peckinpah does what the Coens would never dream of doing.

22. Wiping your nose before attempting a rape could be fatal.

23. Being dirty is not the essential problem with cars in Mexico.

24. When doing a body search, always, repeat: ALWAYS check also the decapitated human head the subject carries.

25. If you need to behead a corpse, be sure to bring helluva machete with you.

26. Don't mess around with El Jefe's daughter.

27. You don't earn your daughter's respect by having her arm snapped and placing a bounty for her lover's head.

28. It's remarkably easy to see at night in Mexico.

29. If a hotelier refuses you service, kick in the door to the office and demand a room. He'll get the message, loud and clear.

30. The service at hole in the wall Mexican restaurants/bars is remarkably cheerful.

31. Be careful which grungy Mexican kids you green light to wash your car. Some of them might get nosy.
