The CIA had an opening for an assassin. After background checks, interviews
and testing, there were three finalists :
two men and one woman.
For the final test, the CIA agents took one finalist to a large metal door and
handed him a gun. " We must know that you will follow your instructions, no
matter what the circumstances. In this room you will find your wife sitting in
a chair. Kill her".
The man said " I could never shoot my wife " . The agent replied "Then you're not the right man for this job ".
The second man was taken aside and given the same instruction.
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 to kill her husband. Shots were heard,
then screaming, crashing and banging on walls. After a few minutes
there was silence. The door opened, the woman came out and wiped the sweat from her brow.
She said "The gun was loaded with blanks. I had to beat him to death with the chair ".
