A Great Rumor. The first of the year- at least the first they’re telling me…

On Friday night while  sitting in the front bar of Berry’s tavern waiting for a drink and the Writers’ Reading Night to begin, a woman I know fairly well turned to  me and said, “Eileen, I heard a rumor about you the other day.”

“Oh no..” thought I, fearing the worst.

She continued.

” I was out with other night with G. at Cryann’s, just having a few pints and he went up to the bar to collect them. While he was there some man came over to him and said, “You’re from Drumshanbo aren’t you?

Yeah.”  G replied.

“You know Eileen O’Toole, don’t you?”

“Sure, ”  He says,” plays the ukulele, I know her.”

Well did you know,” and the guy leans in, ” That’s she’s a CIA agent!!”

( I love this country)

The question is … does she know that she’s a CIA agent… or maybe the question is ,when did they start paying the agents so little?

CIA?? CIA???  ……I’d rather be Scotland Yard……img_2029 gottcha !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
