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 two men and a woman, but only one
position was available.
The day came for the final test to see
which peson 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 our
instructions whatever the circumstances," they explained.
"Inside this room, you will find your wife sitting in a
chair. Take this gun and kill her." The man
looked horrified and said, "You can't be serious! I
could never shoot my 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 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 only had the woman left to test.
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. Then all hell broke loose in the room. They heard
screaming, rashing, and 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 the SOB to death with the chair!"
