Most people wish that I...

That's an easy one.

Most people wish that I didn't have a thing for theatrics.

I don't think I do it all that often, but I'm a big believer in the larger explosion instead of a smaller one. It's louder, it's brighter, and it's more effective if you're trying to get a point across. You can't argue the results. Jane argues for the quieter kill because it's less messy. I tend to think that we got into this job to get our hands dirty anyway, why not have fun with it?

I'm not like Jane. I don't make a scene just because someone pissed me off. I do it because it's fun, on a job or otherwise.

For example? There was this guy, David, who didn't return our barbecue after borrowing it for six months. Six months. Then when he finally does, it's ruined, and we have to buy another one. There's supposed to be some sort of unwritten law about being a good neighbor, but he's not abiding by that.

So, naturally, I strategically blew up his prized lawn gnomes as he came into his driveway when he got home from work. That made some interesting holes in his lawn. And the dirt flying the way it did was interesting.

Not to mention the look on his face.
