So we are collecting money for a Christmas gift to our office support specialist. I put money in an envelope, walked over to the Chair’s office, and gave him the envelope. He looked into the envelope and said, “Oh, thank you for writing this letter of recommendation! He will benefit from this study abroad program because they offer this Intermediate level course he lacks to complete his Focus and start his Minor. Is the text of the exam in the envelope, too?”
“OK,” I though. “The man has gone batty in his dotage and is enacting with me an eerily familiar scene of surreptitious bribe-taking.”
“Yes, it’s all there, the exam, the letter, everything,” I mumbled and backed out of the office.
That was when I realized that the recipient of the gift was standing right behind me and the Chair had simply been trying to prevent her from guessing that we were in the process of collecting money for her gift.

All in all, it’s probably a good thing that you decided to not go into espionage.

Wow, the video is powerful. Given the horrifying number of women between the ages of 18-25 who die because of unsafe illegal abortions (plus the number of women who die of domestic battery usually initiated in late stages of pregnancy), the actions of these activists are not weird at all. They are attacking creepazoids who directly cause deaths to thousands of women.
We also need to remember that the Catholic church in Argentina fully supported the Junta which engaged in institutionalized torture and rape of people, including large numbers of pregnant women. If today Argentineans feel like razing the churches to the ground, I can understand them.
