    Does an imaginative assassin specialise in surprise endings?

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

          So, who should you hire to get an alternative ending? :confused:

            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.

            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'.

              It was only after some very unfortunate events that he realised the careers counsellor had told him to be constantly improving his skills!

                  I predict this thread will be another dead end.

                                Good candidates as well. Symantec and InstallShield deserve extra attention for taking once great product lines and making them suck so hard they have an event horizon.
