easy way out
X290 when faced with an impossible situation, foe etc. when all other solutions have been tried and fail someone comes up with "reverse the polarity" . It works and cue the end titles. This ignores the fact that most electronic circuits etc are designed to only work with a current flow in one direction.
And let us not forget "Breaking the Sound Barrier" (released in England as simply "The Sound Barrier") where simply reversing the controls allows a plane to fly faster than the speed of sound. |

294. Bad guys who die being bad die painfully or slow enough so as they pay for their crimes. On the other side, bad guys who die after turning good persons have more honorable deaths.

295. Cool people can use a classic car as their daily driver without breaking down all the time. All maintenance required is opening the bonnet and wiping your hands in an oily rag on a sunny afternoon.

Generally in American kitchens, a stranger will walk in, open the fridge and drink directly from a bottle of milk or orange juice then put the container back. Nobody already in the kitchen ever complains about this and you never see the user bother with a cup or glass.
