My Name’s Jones
Martini … shaken, not stirred
Jack’s job wasn’t very exciting; sales,
commission only. He made it interesting, during his pitch to the customer, by
pretending to be someone else. He stepped out of his car and buttoned up his
coat.
Tonight, Jack thought, I’m going to be the world’s most famous spy.
Clutching his Quality Fitted Kitchens briefcase,
he sauntered up a driveway and tapped on a door. When it creaked open he raised
one eyebrow. “My name’s Jones … Jack Jones.”’
His eyes widened as a woman, stroking a
white Persian cat on her arm, replied, “I’ve been expecting you, Mr Jones.”’
