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.
Therefore, after sending some applicants through the background checks, training and testing, the CIA 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 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 on a chair. Take this gun and kill her.'
The man was obviously shocked and said 'You can't be serious! I could never shoot my own wife!' 'Well', replied 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, saying 'We just know that you will follow instructions no matter what the circumstances
'Inside you will find your wife sitting on a chair. Take this gun and kill her.'
The second man also looked shocked, but nevertheless took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about 5 minutes, and then the door opened. The man came out 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 there is only the woman left to test. Again they lead her to the same door and hand her the 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 on a chair. Take this gun and kill him.'
The woman took the gun and opened the door. Before the door even closed, the CIA recruiters heard the gun firing repeatedly. There was one shot after another for 13 shots, and then all hell broke loose in the room. They heard screaming, crashing, and banging on the walls. This went on for several minutes, and 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!'
