Deal with it:

All names changed except mine.

Bob to Jim: Dude, the CIA can find anybody in like minutes.

I looked from my work and said: No, they can't. That is from movies.

Bob: No, that's what the CIA does it finds people.

Me: I'm in an international relations class, they can't just find people. Actually most of the jobs of the CIA are collecting intelligence on other countries, like reading foreign newspapers and collecting data on their populations.

Bob: Have you ever seen Taken staring Liam Neeson?

Me: No.

Bob: Well, have you seen Shooter staring Mark Walhberg.

Me: Yeah, I guess.

Bob: Dude, I'm going to be trained to do that, I'm gonna be like an independent agent that travels the world.

Me: Do you know any foreign languages?

Bob: No.

Me: Okay dude, I believe you.

Then we both went back to work.
