Assuming Ethan Hunt is roughly the same age as Tom Cruise, when does Hunt find the time to get his grey hair dyed in between being a fugitive from the government & being a fugitive from the government & also the times he's a fugitive from the government? Also he must have a VERY discreet barber.

Idea: start a band named Pitchfork & all our songs are about how Pitchfork the publication's new material isn't any good. Every song title will a one decimal place number less than six. The songs will have no melodies or arrangements really, guaranteeing a high rating from Pitchfork the publication.
