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……
gottcha !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
