		<description>Deborah, I'm sure the faking it is quite a hoot.  Maybe you'd better watch River Wild for a few pointers.</description>

		<description>I really need to take a class, although I'm not a spy nor do I aspire to that. But I do frequently substitute for preschoolers who know all those cute little songs that they sing with accompanying sign language. When I have to "perform" with them I look like such a spaz because I'm trying to fake it-lucky they have short memories for subs.</description>

		<description>patrick, there seems to be a bit of confusion here--I'M THE INTERNATIONAL SPY--only one per blog allowed. you can be the world renowned, wheel-chair bound, noble prize winning physicist, tapping out your incredibly "elegant"  solution to save the earth from global warming with the pencil you hold between your teeth. of course you speak german along with many other languages. i naturally speak all romance languages, russian, serbian, hebrew and farsi (i have a working knowledge of hindi but nothing i'm comfortable taking into the field). i am called upon to regularly protect you from the evil forces of BIG OIL and BIG AUTO who know that your secret formula for turning styrofoam take out containers and used pampers to  non-polluting  energy sources will soon drive them out of business. so patrick you are safe, for now. (when the drug cartels get wind of your soy bean cure for heroin addiction, i made need some back-up).</description>

		<description>I think that's a noble cause.  I want to learn German so when the unwashed masses around me bother me, I can pretend I don't speak English.  Plus it would help me do my job as an international spy.  

I'll be your best friend and I'd let you do my hair, but it is already perfect.  OH GOD, 1 strand is out of place.  THE Horror!!!!  

ok, I'm better now.</description>
