It's easy to learn. You just roll the paper up a bit, and -smacko- right on the flank. It's not the hitting, it's the sound of the paper and the location- right where another animal would attack -that gives the most noble hound quite a discomfiture.
What I had in mind was boxing the compass. -

Not well known to the genersl public but the Spleen from Mystery Men was the "Carlos Hathcock" of clandestine fart attacks. He was so legendary that he is still used as a consultant. He cant do field ops any more because as everyone knows, that as we get older you cant trust a fart. The depends are just to difficult to hide under skinny jeans. What a shame

I don't know but I do know this: I know a man who was a CIA agent and he told me this is the closest movie to reality that he has ever seen. He knows. No joke.
I did know a person who had a CIA application. It was 13 pages long! They want to know everything in the world about you. -

The CIA, like any good head hunters (although in their case, it may be more accurate) recruits from many locations.
That's assuming that the agencies we know about actually do the "spying" ..
there is a belief system that FBI, CIA, and NSA are all politics and police
more than "espionage" and it is "unknown" organizations that do all
the real "dirty work"
As for becoming a CIA operative, I was "this close" to being recruited
when I was still in school as I have a penchant for foreign languages,
and was interviewed for my skills. I opted not to pursue government work.
People who get into the agency and show certain skills may be brought
into more risky operations.
Military agents as well are just one of the many ways they
find people.
