The CIA had an opening for an assassin. After all of the background
checks, interviews, and testing were done there were three finalists,
two 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 of 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." 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. They heard screaming, crashing, 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 and said, "You guys didn't tell me the gun was loaded with
blanks I had to beat him to death with the chair."
