Reasons why I would not make a good Assassin
- Lack of Moral Flexibility – I don’t think I have it in me to kill a target without proper justification. I would need proof that the guy I am taking out has committed some sort of heinous crime and deserves what he is getting. Also, I would have a big issue taking out a woman or a child.
- Allergies – You can’t sneak up on an unsuspecting victim when you are sniffing from a runny nose. The shadows cannot conceal a well placed sneeze. Irritated blood shot eyes do not help you blend anonymously into a crowd. Besides, anti-histamines make me slightly sluggish which is not a good thing when you’re dealing with life and death situations.
- Sweat – Even after loosing 40 pounds and dropping my blood pressure quite a bit I still sweat up a storm during physical activity. It is just the way my body works I guess. There is no way you can look inconspicuous if you are caught walking away from the scene of the crime drenched in sweat. I am even liable to leave a trail of sweat drops away from the scene that will completely give it away.
- Bladder of an Ant – Water and liquids in general just go through me like a downpour through a storm drain. I can drink a bottle of water and expect to make a stop at the little boys room soon after. This would be a big issue during those hits that involve waiting it out in confining quarters. There’s no place to go potty when you’re hiding in the duct work of a government building! Of course I could just not drink anything before and during a mission, but I could run the risk of dehydration because of Issue #3.
Clearly I was not meant to be the next Jason Bourne or John Rain
