In high school I read a spy novel, probably short and possibly bad, about a guy who gets mistaken for the greatest spy in the world. Not only do the bad guys capture him, but then their boss is like: "I know you have studied all weapons, and I have really been looking forward to finally duel someone who is proficient with the two handed axe." And then he gets rescued, but the rescuer assumes that *he* can fly a helicopter. Does this ring any bells?
