Funny. It's really true, though. Ever since I got called that years ago, I've paid attention and sure enough, I can apparently fool a wide variety of groups. Being from N Idaho, I've got what I'm told is a thick northwestern accent....similar to a drawl. Loggers and construction workers think I'm one of them, as long as I'm not wearing my usual work clothes (slacks and tie). Bigshots think I've got class since I know which fork to use and I sit up straight, ask people questions about themselves and listen. Both groups are genuinely surprized when I tell them about my "other" life. I probably should have been a secret agent. My heart rate doesn't change much.
As a secret agent, I'd have to make sure I never got drawn into a Samba dance. Trust me on this one.
