Things I learned from MM


You will know exactly which apt to buzz for the tenant who lives across the street and has been teasing you.

Assassins know EXACTLY where their targets are going to be at all times.

Holocaust survivors will just happen to encounter a former Nazi in the exact spot out of all the big cities in the world among millions where he is and recognize him even though he is older and without hair and his uniform etc.

Ladies: If you want to meet a man leave a book for him to find with your address in it and play hard to get when he returns the book to you.

Old Jew drivers are impatient assholes and not understanding when your car stalls in front of theirs.
Which reminds me:
I left the oven on!

When cars collide with an oil truck everything explodes and goes up in flames.

When you are running after someone and making good ground on them, make sure they don't run up a scrap pile because any attempt to grab them will result in you losing consciousness for a few seconds.

When you have the upper hand in a confrontation make sure you leave guns lying around so that the corrupt agent could try to shoot you after you leave the scene.

If you mean to kill a man you've been chasing after who is seeking information from you, and who has a gun pointed at you, decide to save him from being killed by your fellow agents when they try killing him, for some reason.
