"Way back in the '90s, I had a friend of Indian descent whose sister worked for the FBI. She said her sister was always getting pestered about moving into investigative field work because no one would suspect she was undercover."
I used to work in D.C. in/around DoD and Middle Eastern affairs. Not the Lords work, but in a geographic area and domain that people just associate with spooks. Even now, as a software engineer in a non-related field and metro area, upon hearing about my background everyone, and I mean everyone, will at some point joke about me being a spy or working for the CIA. I find it funny that no one has ever thought that this also means I'd be the LEAST likely to be anything clandestine. I think half of it stems from the fact that I'm just an average white dude from the Midwest; My brown or black co-workers were never seemed to be suspect.
- geoduck14 5y agoI have some relatives who spent a year or so in Russia. The husband is REALLY good with a Russian-style hand gun. And they often talk fondly of their time in Russia. (They also have slight political leanings toward Russia). I like to pretend they are KGB sleeper agents. I know they aren't, but I like to pretend it is true.
- novok 5y agoWhat makes you really good with a few models of pistols vs others that it stands out in significant ways? It's like saying "he is REALLY GOOD at driving ford mustangs" vs just driving cars.
- thatguy0900 5y agoNothing, really, they probably just mean that he has a Russian handgun. There is some differences in sights and caliburs but not really to the extent you would claim to be a expert in one specific style.
- geoduck14 5y agoWe went to the gun range with a handful of different guns. I don't remember what each of them were, but I do remember one had a hard trigger and aweful kick. It wasn't a pleasant gun for me to fire - and I wasn't very accurate with it. It was a Russian gun, and he was good at firing it. This like saying he is "really good at driving Vespas"
