I was originally sent undercover to Kiev at the peak of the Orange Revolution. Once events settled down, I was reassigned to regular missionary duty. Given the time since my activities have ended and that my assets there have since retired, I have been cleared to divulge this information.

I don't remember authorizing that. And, did you check your DDL?

אני בת עשרים
just in case anyone had a dying desire to know what it is in Hebrew. It literally means "I am a daughter of twenty [years]"
or if you're a man: אני בן עשרים
"I am a son of twenty [years]"

Man, beats me.

Maybe you were thinking of one of the other writers?

No, she just expects you to learn enough Farsi to answer the question. Hop to it!

As far as I know, Laser Jock does not consider it a grave insult to be mistaken for someone who speaks Farsi. I think you're OK.

Haha, you're totally fine. No need for being soooo sorry.

(And Katya is right, I'm not at all offended. I wish I spoke Farsi!)
