A few months ago, there was an opening with the CIA for an assassin.
These highly classified positions are hard to fill, and there's
a lot of testing and background checks involved before you can
even be considered for the position. After sending some
applicants
through the background checks, training and testing, they narrowed
the possible choices down to 2 men and a woman, but only one
position was available. The day came for the final test to see
which person would get the extremely secretive job. The CIA men
administering the test 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" they explained.
"Inside this room, you will find your wife sitting in a chair.
Take this gun and kill her." The man got a shocked look on his
face and said, "You can't be serious! I could never shoot my own
wife!" "Well", says the CIA man, "You're definitely not the
right man for this job then." So they bring the second man to
the same door and hand him a gun. "We must know that you will
follow instructions no matter what the circumstances", they
explained to the second man. "Inside you will find your wife sitting
in a chair. Take this gun and kill her." The second man looked
a bit shocked, but nevertheless took the gun and went in the
room. All was quiet for about 5 minutes, then the door opened.
The man came out of the room with tears in his eyes. "I tried to
shoot her, I just couldn't pull the trigger and shoot my wife.
I guess I'm not the right man for the job." "No" the CIA man
replied, "You don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go
home." Now they're down to the woman left to test. Again they
lead her to the same door to the same room and handed her the
same gun. "We must be sure that you will follow instructions no
matter what the circumstances, this is your final test. Inside
you will find your husband sitting in a chair. Take this gun and
kill him. "The woman took the gun and opened the door. Before
the door even closed all the way, the CIA men heard the gun
start firing. One shot after another for 13 shots. They heard
screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. This went on for
several minutes, then all went 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!"
