A few months ago, there was an opening with the CIA for an assassin.
After sending some applicants through the background checks, training and testing, they narrowed the candidates down to 2 men and a woman, but only one position was available.
The CIA instructor administering the final test took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun.
The instructor said “We must know that you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances. Inside this room, you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill her.”
The man was completely shocked and said “You can’t be serious! I could never shoot my own wife!” “Well,” says the instructor, “you are definitely not the right man for this job.”
So the instructor brings the second man to the same door and hands the man a gun. “We must know that you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances. Inside this room, you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill her.”
The second man looks a bit shocked, but nevertheless he takes the gun and enters the door.
All is quiet for about 5 minutes, then the door opens and the man comes out and with tears in his eyes, he says “I just couldn’t pull the trigger, I can’t shoot my wife, I guess I’m not the right man for the job.” “No” the CIA instructor replied, “You don’t have what it takes. Take your wife and go home.”
Now The Woman
Now the woman is the only candidate left. Again the instructor leads her to the same door and hands her the same gun.
“We must know that you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances. Inside this room, 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 instructor could hear the gun start to fire.
One shot after another for 6 shots. Then all hell broke loose in the room.
There was 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 her brow and said “You didn’t tell me the gun was loaded with blanks! I had to beat him to death with the chair.”
