The Spy Who Couldn't Spell
Agent Baker scribbled fervently on his notepad. Dr. Kupfernickel would return any minute.
The footsteps warned him. He folded his note into the perfect paper airplane and launched it through the window just as the door swung open. Baker turned confidently to face his adversary.
The paper airplane glided across the square and into the waiting arms of Agent Donnelly, who quickly read the missive.
"Is this message encoded?" asked Donnelly's puzzled partner.
"Baker is dyslexic. He can't spell. He said to wait here until he gives explicit orders. So we wait here."
They found Baker's body two weeks later.
