Like A Ninja...

Okay so lately I've been having these silly fantasies, daydreaming that I'm a super cool CIA agent like Jennifer Garner in Alias. How COOL would it be to be able to speak a zillion languages and disconnect a bomb in 10 seconds. Not to mention all the cool gadgets spies get to have. Microfilm, exploding chewing gum, disguises. I even love watching the specials they run on the History Channel about "inside the CIA" or "The secret world of spies." I know that makes me such a nerd but those shows are really fascinating to me. In reality I'm a super big chicken and seeing as how I don't like breaking the rules....realistically this would not be my ideal profession. But...it doesn't keep me from dreaming. One day I too will be able to take down a 300 lb man with my forefinger.

psssst... wanna know a secret?

Sometimes I imagine the same thing. Of course you'd be wearing spiky high heels, because all female heroines wear heels. You too will wipe out thirty bad guys with one carefully placed kick. You'll drive the heel of your shoe into the stomach of their ringleader, then proceed to dismantle the ticking time bomb. You frantically wonder, "Do I cut the red wire or the blue wire?" You make a guess, cut the blue wire, the time bomb stops (with 0:01 seconds left on the clock, which conveniently has bright red LCD light-up numbers), and become the heroine who saved the village from utter destruction.

*wink* And let's not forget your gentleman friend, who will now see you for the brave, strong, beautiful woman that you are, and fall madly in love with you!

Anyone can take down a 300lb man, you just need to know where to put the finger! ROFL
(sorry, this is my mind without enough sleep, lol).

I get it - I'm the same with forensic science and no, I would not want to do that job in the real world, but I do have a keen interest in watching about it from the couch.

Exploding chewing gum rocks!!! LOL
You could totally take down a 300 pound man with your forefinger - just jab it in his eyeball. The biggest of men goes down over that...

Being a clandestine agent for the CIA really isn't what you think it is. Mostly, these people have day jobs that they actually work in and can't just go gallavanting around to blow stuff up. They have a day job and then go meet people, talk, have a drink and sometimes money and information is exchanged that is classified. I would seriously doubt if they were all issued pistols. Sorry to burst everyone's bubble, but if you want to kill people with your finger, join the marines and move through the training into the Special Forces or Green Berets or whatever.

You should really learn how to take down the obese bad men of the world. If not for national safety, then for the humor that comes while watching a big fat man weep like a little girl.

I don't know if you can take down a guy with your forefinger but I know it can be done with a thumb! Of course I'm sure you could do it with other parts of your body but that goes without saying...

I don't know about all the gadgets. It took me forever to figure out how to get my scanner working. I think I'd be especially dangerous with exploding chewing gum. It would probably get mixed in with the Halloween candy and then I'd be on the news, hounded by reporters, and have people picketing my house. No fun at all.
