One of the funniest things I ever read in MAD magazine was a spoof of "Mission: Impossible" called "Mission: Ridiculous," written by one Dick DeBartolo ("That's the most suspicious thing I ever saw!").

We had a thread about them somewhere around here when he first offered them.  I ordered a set for my father, who loved the gift -- he was a fan of the original MG as a teenager.
