Weekly Intelligence Briefing

 

 

(Note: Cleared readers only, please.)

I wasn’t burned. More like flambéed. – Ops report

It was quiet, thought the grizzled old CIA case officer. Too quiet.

Feigning an untied shoelace, he crouched down in the cafeteria line at the assisted living facility, and in a single lightning fast motion, readjusted the volume on his hearing aid.

● … Well, OK, as long as it’s not ‘Mr. Tambourine Man.’ – Mr. Tambourine Man

● The man who wrote: “Our whole life is a matter of semantics” was named Frankfurter.

Just sayin’.

Oh what a tangled web's resultant, when first we hire a weaving consultant.

Executive Intelligence Summary

SpookSpeak. Blind spot n. In countersurveillance, a belief in the existence of blind spots.

“We’re a lot alike, you and I,” the enemy agent sneered, placing the barrel of his Glock against my temple, pulling the trigger, and instantly killing himself (... because, being a lot like me, he was terrible with firearms). – Ops report

● I’m nonbinary because I hate alternatives.

● Reading about the five stages of grief before you actually grieve takes all the excitement out of it.

● Domestic abuse?! The house hit me first!

Executive Intelligence Summary

Was it something I neither confirmed nor denied? – CIA spokesperson getting dumped after a first date

If Israel had a Ministry Of Secretly Suckering Antisemitic Doofuses, I bet that ministry’s name would be classified, and its acronym would be an innocuous-sounding Hebrew word.

● The Zen master is clearly impressed with my progress. He says I’ve succeeded in emptying my mind faster than any student he’s ever had.

● Gender studies major? I assumed she was a colonel at the very least.

● The reason that sign at the gate of Hell says ‘Abandon all hope, ye who enter here’ is so folks wont be disappointed once they’re inside.

Executive Intelligence Summary

If enough sh*t hits the fan blades, theyll stop rotating.
