At a large grocery company I worked at, there was a gentleman in IT that was very odd. He was a total dweeb, but would always talk - indirectly - about his time in the Security Service. He'd make comments about things he'd seen and done, but always say stuff like "I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you" and finish the sentence with a stupid little laugh. It's actually winding me up thinking about it.
There is NO WAY whatsoever that he has ever worked for MI5, or any other branch. He's definitely never handled or fired a gun, despite suggestions that he has regularly had to shoot people. No conversation could be had that didn't get twisted back to spy stuff and taking down baddies. To be clear, this guy makes 'Gareth' from The Office look like the hardest person on the planet. There is a slight chance he worked in Northern Ireland during The Troubles, but the only thing he would have been doing is changing printer cartridges or something.
Anyway... some time ago his CV passed across my desk, it is predictably dry and full of nonsense... "I am a great believer in using every means to leverage benefits and cost savings and in particular to drive repeatable processes, often by thinking beyond the box boundary". However, the hobbies section is wonderful, here is a snippet:
