What did i say wrong! Did i get the year wrong or something? |
Nooooooooooo!
You recently applied to join MI6 didn't you?
This was covert first test of your thought processes and brain speed!
I too applied and someone phoned me and asked to speak to the Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
I similarly replied (within 0.03 seconds apparently) that they couldn't speak to him as he had been shot by Gavrillo Princip.
I passed that test but after passing all other set tests over a six month period I failed, because while walking through our local shopping precinct I was stopped by a woman with a clipboard and stayed to answer her questionnare. Apparently this would have attracted the attention of other spies as NOBODY ever stops to talk to these women.
You would have passed the test but they will have monitored your activity since and as you have now revealed the test to the general public you will now be deemed Untrustworthy..No further progress.
Such a shame, as you probably would have been the perfect candidate.
