    Does an imaginative assassin specialise in surprise endings?

    Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

      the surprise is on the assassinated, so yes! I d prefer to think of an assassin marketing themselves as meticulous rather than imaginative!

        Oh, I dunno. There are some people for whom a "normal" exit just wouldn't be enough! :laugh: The Imaginative Assassin could probably charge a premium for "special" jobs.

                  With a meticulous assassin, you get "the victim is history". With an imaginative assassin, it's "the victim is geography". :laugh:

                        I guess if I m hiring an assassin I more concerned with the end result and a lack of breadcrumbs back to thyself; so meticulous appeals more to me! If the result is utter revenge I see imaginative as an ideal quality! I guess 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'.

                                          I'd slide McAfee and Symantec in near the top of that...and the f'tards that write RansomWare.
