Things We Can Learn From Mission: Impossible

As all good Honorary Impossible Missions Force agents know, Classic Mission Impossible showed the team going on adventures to exotic lands, meeting interesting people (both good and evil), and coming up with ingenious (and sometimes downright insane) plans to keep the world safe.
The series gave us a lot of life lessons. Now to be honest, some of these lessons may not work in the real world (but wouldn't it be great if they DID?), so I thought it would be fun to compare what little bits and pieces of wisdom each of us picked up from watching the series.
1). During the mid 1960's to early 1970's a new language called Gellerese was introduced, but unfortunately it didn't catch on.

13). In Communist countries, cigarettes are smoked by putting the tobacco end in your mouth and lighting the filter end (this also is the rule in the Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea universe).
