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.

32) Having 2 women on the team during the same mission (especially if the guest female agent has an unrequited crush on the team leader) raises the chances of a female agent catfight during the mission.

38) When doing research for a mission, find out if there's a particular subject the bad guy is obsessed with, and exploit it until the cows come home.

40) If there's a dead person in the bad guy's past, "arrange" for the "ghost" of the person to visit the bad guy. Usually produces required results.

Didn’t they use both a doctor and a strongman when they messed with William Shatner’s head?
