The CIA has one international assassin position and three candidates are being interviewed for the job, two men and a woman.
The CIA proctor leads the first male candidate to a steel door and hands him a gun. "We have to know that you will follow all our instructions, regardless of the circumstances," the CIA proctor explains. "Inside this room, you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill her."
The man is horrified, "You can't possibly be serious! I would never shoot my own wife!"
"Well," says the CIA proctor, "You are definitely not the right man for this job."
The CIA proctor leads the second male candidate to another steel door and hands him a gun. "We have to know that you will follow all our instructions, regardless of the circumstances," the proctor explains. "Inside this room, you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill her."
The second man steadies himself, takes the gun and enters the room through the steel door.
After three quiet minutes the man exits the room with tears in his eyes.
"I wanted to do it but I just couldn't pull the trigger and shoot my wife. I guess I am not the right man for this job."
Finally, the CIA proctor leads the woman candidate to another steel door and hands her a gun. "We have to know that you will follow all our instructions, regardless of the circumstances. Inside this room you will find your husband sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill him."
The woman takes the gun and enters the room. Before the steel door even closes completely behind her she's fired off six shots. Then there was cursing, screaming and crashing sounds.
Suddenly, all goes quiet.
The steel door opens slowly and the woman exits wiping the sweat from her brow. She says, "Did you guys know the gun was loaded with blanks? I had to beat him to death with the chair he was sitting on!"
