Paper money makes distinct “crinkle” sounds.

You need .25 cents to dial the operator.

If you come across DOA, Ice and Slash, RUN!!!

If murderous criminals are chasing you, don’t bother hiding in a perfectly safe spot: The Sewer. As well, throw garbage cans threw store windows to make a lot of noise and set off the alarms. This will lead the murderous criminal’s right to you.

Richard Thomas is a genius for carrying around so much loose change.

Four people constitutes a large gang.

Street gangs in Chicago watch too many 1950s movies as well as too many episodes of "Happy Days".

Street gang members laugh continuously, loudly, and manically when they don't want people to know where they are.

There is always something in your path to accidentally kick so that it rolls and gives away your hiding spot.

If you crawl out from underground with injuries, filth, and ragged clothes, everyone will cheerfully assume you are fine including the parking lot attendant.
