Assassins

[plonkers]

The C I A had an opening for an assassin. After all the
background checks, interviews and testing
were done, there were three finalists: two men and a
woman. For the final test, the C I A 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
the 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
are 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. 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, so
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
after another. 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, wiping sweat from her brow. "The gun was
loaded with blanks," she said. "I had to kill him
with the bloody chair.”
