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," said the CIA man, "You're definitely not the right man for this
job then."
So they brought the second man to the same door and handed him the 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 into the room. All was quiet for a few 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 own 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 the the woman was the only candidate left to test.
Again they led 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!"
