* Max's general cover was that he was a greeting card salesmen
for the Pontiac Greeting Card company. This cover, used in numerous
episodes, probably wouldn't have paid him enough money for salami on a
Sunday.
I
have omitted: Smart appearing in a Chicken Suit, the time he lied to
his relatives about working in
a shoe store, his stint as a female mourner, the
many missions where he pretended to
be Bogart, his experience as a prisoner, the times he posed as a vacationer, and
when he dressed
up as Hitler.
Playing Hitler won't cut it on the job market
->
Winner(s) of the
Honorable Mention award (would you
believe "Participant"?):
In Survival of the Fattest, Max claims he is
the following: an oil company president, a calling card manufacturer, a
toy manufacturer, and a munitions manufacturer. Unfortunately, Mary Jack
Armstrong didn't put much stock in Mr. Smart's resume.
Fun Fact: Max's most frequent chore was that of a doctor. With
that in mind, would he make an outstanding addition to the medical staff on
General Hospital? Uh... Diagnosis Murder?
