Weekly Intelligence Briefing

 

 

(Note: Cleared readers only, please.)

At CIA, terminating an intelligence asset does not mean killing them (and occasionally vice versa).

● Fighter pilots: sign up to attend a presentation on the latest trends in aircraft ejection systems. Seats going fast! – Announcement in Pentagon news publication (proposed)

● The Force is litigable with this one. – Imperial and Jedi lawyers alike

● You know you’re driving in the country when the voices on radio ad disclaimers talk slower than you do.

I assume the statement “If you can't say something nice, don’t say anything” is a nice thing to say.

● Sweden. Because the world needs an emotional support country.

● Whenever I hear that someone is ‘afraid of his own shadow,’ I get scared too. What if he’s a giant monster???

● Life is too short to have more than 1/7 of a human. – Dog wisdom

SpookSpeak. Go/No-No-Go n. A meeting to determine whether to proceed with a planned action, or not to proceed with not proceeding with that action.

● If you feel something, resonate with something. – Public service announcement, Department of Homeland Empathy

● Tony Orlando, telling the bus driver not to stop: “I specifically instructed her: tie ONE yellow ribbon ‘round the old oak tree. Not two, not ten, and sure as hell not a hundred.”

● Halfway through the dictionary’s definition of ‘unreliable narrator,’ doubts start creeping in.
