Wife: I'm you're wife, Rick!
R: uh, I mean, I know!
As you can see by these two unfortunate patients, holding a smile too long can permanently damage your cheek muscles. Thankfully, they found an adequate donor soon after and were spared a life of frowning.
move your hand!
That eharmony site is a load of crap, look at this loser they hooked me up with...
@LTDScott: I don't know if I'd call a Lambda "outdated".

God Rick, did you just fart?
"Wait...Are we in a Volvo or a GM brand...Damn, I shoulda checked. While I'm at it, I shoulda just bought Jeep when the Germans offered it so the caption could read "Wagoners in a Wagoneer"."
Why is he smiling?

"Hon, I'm not letting you pee in this pet bottle in front of all these nice people today!"
@LTDScott: nice one
"Rick......if you'll kindly remove your thumb from my you-know where, my smile will be much more convincing."
Rick demonstrates how GMC can bring smiles even to a loveless, sexless, unrepairably broken marriage.
"Honey, I think they're onto us. I don't know how, but they musta found Wagoner's body already. Just act natural, and on the count of three, run like hell for the exit. Ready? 1....2...."
".....psssst! hey Kathy....not to alarm you, but any moment now, my two slightly-heavy-but-sexually-adventurous college friends Elaine and Barbara are due to arrive, and they claim they're going to show us a REAL tailgate party......what do you think they mean?"

Man: That's ok, I filled the water bottle with Vodka.
@Dr.Danger: yes, let's do that photo!
In this, their last photographed carefree moment, the Wagoners were completely unaware that the buffet-bound stampede of hungry market analysts was about to bear down on them.
"Honey, the seat's not really that comfortable. And where's the steering wheel?"
Oh, it's a Cheap Wagoner.
