The CIA had an opening for an assassin. After all the
> background checks,
> interviews and testing were done, there were 3 finalists...
> 2 men and a woman.

>
> For the final test, the CIA agents 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. Inside this
> room, you will find your
> wife sitting in a chair. Kill her!"
>
> The man said, "You can't be serious. I could never shoot my
> wife."
>
> The agent said, "Then you're not the right man for this job.
> Take your wife
> and go home."
>
> The second man was given the same instructions. 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.
>
> She was given the same instructions to kill her husband. She
> took the gun
> and went into the room. Shots were heard, one shot after
> another, eight in a
> row.
>
> They heard screaming, crashing, and banging on the walls.
> After a few
> minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there
> stood the woman.
>
> She wiped the sweat from her brow.
>
> "This gun is loaded with blanks," she said. "I had to beat
> him to death
> with the chair."
>
> Moral: Never put a woman to the test.
