Cool story. In a nutshell. Miss Nevada was abandoned as a baby in the Reno Airport.

Raises the never-ending question of whether we're limited by our genes or our upbringing.  Criminologists have been struggling with this one for years.

I saw a documentary on this where they took a criminal low life and gave him a responsible job and a luxurious lifestyle and then took upstanding citizen and dishonered him and had him arrested.

This study showed it was the nurture that was the predominant factor as I recall.

Cool story.  Imagine someone trying to get away with leaving a newborn in an airport nowadays.

The box w/ the baby would probably be detonated out on the tarmac.  Just like Hank Hill's poor smoked turkey.

lol....

Best line from the movie was when Eddie was in jail talking smack about being a Kung Fu expert ("Bruce Lee was my teacher" ;) ) and how the cops tear gassed him because he had put up so much of a fight.  He insults a huge black guy in the same cell and when the guy gets up to go beat the crap out of Murphy the guy says:

"It ain't cool being no jive turkey this close to Thanksgiving."

lol...cracks me up...what a great quote.
