Update: Joe emailed me and pointed out a glaring omission in my list. Spies! I am a fool. Spies are officially number 16 (no value judgement is implied by the numbering).

The text of Joe’s persuasive email follows:

* Do spies keep several fake passports and cash in a safe house in Andorra? * Do spies have little one man submarines they pilot up the Rhine? * Do spies leave a hair on the light switch so they know if you searched their room? * Do spies hike over the Alps in lederhosen posing as shepherds? * Do spies keep microfilm in a fake tooth? * Do spies leave a folded newspaper on a bench to call of a secret rendezvous? * Do spies vacation in Argentina and return with a Nazi in their steamer trunk?

I think you know the answer to all of these questions.
