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 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.”
