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 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 cant be serious. I could never
shoot my wife. The agent said, Then youre 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 cant kill my wife.
The agent said, You dont have what it takes. Take
your wife and go home.
Finally, it was the womans 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. Then the agents 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, and
said, This gun is loaded with blanks. I had to beat
him to death with the chair.
