Secret Serviced!

Craig and I just got secret serviced! As we were walking back to work post coffee, a guy in a suit who appeared to be listening to the radio (but with only 1 earphone) asked us to “please stand aside”. We had to make way for some folks in suits who were clearly more important than us.

I was tempted to say, “get lost mate, what’cha gonna do?!”, but instead we just quietly stood aside as requested.

More important than you? That’s not possible!

Could of said something more witty like "Ok everybody down. Ive got a bomb in my body" always good to watch the expression on their face. I recommend not saying this around anyone with long fingers.<br><br>Reminds me of my time in the secretive early days, when we were interviewed an ASIO agent, lets just call him Mr Smith, and he gave me a card with just his name on it…no contact details, and I thought – handy…<br><br>However I also have to state that anyone with a mic in their ear does not have a sense of humour. During the same ASIO interviews, my boss was asked if he had done anything in his life, sexually, which he was ashamed of. He answered that he has sex with a pig once, but he wasnt really ashamed of that. Thinking, quiet wrongly, that Mr Smith may find this moment of wit and frovolity a ray of sunshine in his drab grey life. Mr Smith, just nodded and took notes. I suppose working in the public service such a statement may of been quiet common…..
