[ WP ] After a bizarrely grueling interview process , you 've finally been hired at the local shop ... on your first day you find out the real reason for the screening .

`` Hold on,'' I said, `` Did you just say NSA liason?'' 
 
 `` Yes,'' he said. `` We make document packages for accountants, car salesmen, you know, standard things really. And Brad over there is our NSA liason.'' 
 
 `` Ok, hold on, so we make document packages, that's all fine and dandy. And why do we need an NSA liason?'' 
 
 `` Well, they have the best cookies.'' He took another cookie from the office tray and handed it to me. I accepted it of course -- they were absolutely delicious, the best I'd ever eaten. 
 
 `` Ok, this cookie is great, it's seriously the best. But why is he bringing in cookies?'' 
 
 `` Well otherwise we would n't let the NSA backdoor anything.'' 
 
 I blinked for a few seconds. `` There's a US federal agency that gets almost 53 billion dollars of funding a year and we're letting them bribe us with cookies?'' 
 
 `` Not just any cookies, of course, the best cookies.'' He handed me another cookie and took one for himself and we ate them in silence for a moment. 
 
 `` These are really good. What's the secret?'' 
 
 He shrugged. `` I do n't know. Hey, Brad,'' he called out. `` What's the secret, why do these taste so good?'' 
 
 Brad looked up from his game of solitaire and shrugged his shoulders. `` I do n't know,'' he said. `` The only logical explanation,'' he continued with a grin, `` Is crack cocaine or something.'' 
 
 I shrugged my shoulders as I took another cookie.
