Don’t lie to yourself. You’ve sat down, watched a Jet Li movie, or perhaps one of those fancy modern-day ninja films, and you’ve thought, “damn, wish I could do that stuff.” There’s just something about assassins that reeks of cool. The weaponry, the fighting technique passed down through the ages, and a really sleek attire. Granted, you have to actually kill people, but if you can ignore that for a few seconds, it isn’t hard to really appreciate the lifestyle.
Comedian Michael Ian Black wanted to clear some things up about assassins, making sure he wasn’t alone in his topic of daydreams:
Quick check: pretty much everybody sort of wants to be an assassin, right?

Raise your hands now, don’t be shy. There’s nothing to be ashamed of here.
@michaelianblack I don't want to live in a world where that isn't the majority's life goal.
