It's kind of how people used to make fun of the CIA types and "undercover" operatives.

Look for the guy wearing a conspicuously plain leather jacket and baseball cap. "Why hello there average looking stranger I've never met. Psss, 'tis a fair day, but it'll be lovelier this evening.'" "Oh ... it's Murphy the spy you want."

Also, found out the CIA declassified a bunch of jokes several years back in searching to respond. [1] Most are already dead links on CIA.gov, yet there's a few remaining. Nother one on people commenting on the CIA. [2] "These types are swin- Ask in Langley if they work for the CIA. Every- Ask in Langley. They will tells one knows them." 'You, it's the big building behind.'

The garbage in the last sentence of this comment is due to the second link including incorrectly OCR'd text from an image of a newspaper using a two column layout. Both links are very amusing.
