Things I learned watching Over the Top

- If you want your son to learn about his Father before you die, be sure never to show him all the letters he wrote. It kills the plot.

- If you feel like you can't beat Bull Hurley, then sell your truck and bet on yourself anyway.

- Grandpa can't buy Hawk off, cause Bull Hurley owns Hawk

- Deliveries are in the back, even if the truck isn't hauling anything

#345 If you're ever about to lose in arm wrestling, simply 'fan' your fingers out and slightly re-position them -- this will take you over the top.

- Airport security was non-existent in the 1980s.

- Long Haul truckers don't require beds to sleep. - single cab trucks are just fine thank you..

- You can lift weights while driving an eighteen wheeler without swerving.

WHAT I LEARNED IN OVER THE TOP....
1. All smasher hears on the radio is about this Hawk, no music, nothing else
2. Sucker-punching an opponent at the arm wrestling table, and even breaking his nose,will NOT get you disqualified!
3, Eating a lit cigar and washing it down with motor oil will not make the refs wonder WTF... most refs will simply let you drink and enjoy!
4. If you beat Harry Boscoe, REMEMBER, HE WASNT READY
5, When Lincoln Hawk is through talking, you best be not standing in his way, or you risk being shoved through a glass door!!
6. Lincoln Hawk likes his last name pluralized, until halfway through the film, then its back to Hawk
7, when Mike is being kidnapped, you can hear his whiny little voice from anywhere
8, A 12 year old boy, after once driving a dune buggy, can instantaneously learn to drive a 9 speed 18 wheeler on a 2 lane country road in mere seconds.....
9. Same 12 year old boy, in pre 9/11 world of course, can enter the TWA concourse through the exit, and sneak onto a Lear jet, and fly non stop service straight from L.A. to Las Vegas, and only get yelled at about his parking job
10. You can smash through a millionaires front gate, past armed security, into the front door, causing millions of dollars in damage, all u gotta do is leave the state, and you are free and clear!!!!
11. Lincoln Hawk always wanted to be a milkshake
12. After a rich man daughter dies, and they lay her to rest in her plot, the grass will be green and lush, even before the funeral.
13. When asked for Identification, wedding photos will suffice.
14. The finest rig money can buy, INCLUDING the trailer, AND half a million dollars, doesn't cover the price of a whiny a$$ kid who will probably end up a home sexual crack head anyways
15. Double elimination doesn't apply to Bull Hurley, only single elimination
16. Second sucks
17. Harry boscoe is an engine, his fist is a fire plug
18. He will light you up
19. If you win 1000 dollars arm wrestling, your kid will want to call his mommy and snitch on you
20, your kid, when aggravated, can jump out of a truck, run across 8 lanes of highway traffic, causing wrecks, and u can tackle him down, and then make him walk back across the highway, and nobody will think kidnapping, nor call the police,
21. If you rip out a military school cadets jacket sleeve, YOU WILL GET THE BILL

Your wife is on her death & you're absent !
