The CIA had an opening for an assassin. After all the background checks,
interviews and testing were done, there were 3 finalists...2 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 your instructions, no matter what the circumstances.
Inside 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. Take your wife and go home."
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, eight in a row.
They heard screaming, crashing, and 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. "This gun is loaded with blanks," she
said. "I had to beat him to death with the chair."
