British intelligence? Spy saga borders on spoof
Joseph Wilson and Arthur Price called Alexander Madrichyk, a Soviet official, to try to sell him secret acoustic tiles. Those secret acoustic tiles make American subs undetectable to sonar. Madrichyk dismissed the call as a joke. However, the British secret service, which routinely monitors phone calls to the Soviet Embassy, didn't. The police and secret service finally arranged a meeting between Wilson, Price and "Nick", a British spy. "Nick," pretending to be Russian, tried to imitate a Russian accent but kept forgetting that the Russian word for "yes" is "da," not "ja." Nor could he pronounce the word "Moscow" properly. Security service men tried to take pictures of the meeting, but they forgot to remove the lens caps from their cameras. Despite the comedy of errors, Wilson and Price were eventually arrested and convicted.
