The CIA had an opening for an assassin. After all of the
background checks, interviews, and testing were done
there were three finalists, two men and a woman.
For the final test, the CIA agents took one of the
men to a large metal door and handed him a gun. "We must
know that you will follow our instructions, no matter what the
circumstances.
Inside of this room, you will find your wife sitting in a chair.
Kill Her!!!
The man said, "You can't be serious. I could never shoot my wife."
The agent said, "Then you're not the right man for this job."
The second man was given the same instructions. He took the
gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about five minutes. Then
the man came out with tears in his eyes. "I tried, but I can't kill my wife."
The agent said, "You don't have what it takes; take your wife and go home."
Finally, it was the woman's turn. She was given the same instructions, to
kill her husband. She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were
heard, one shot
after another. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls.
After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman.
She wiped the sweat from her brow and said, "You guys didn't tell me the gun
was loaded with blanks. I had to beat him to death with the chair!"
