Welcome back 'lene! With the price down, I thought another joke was needed. kc The CIA has an opening for an assassin. After sending some applicants through numerous background checks, training and testing, they narrowed the choice down to three candidates: two men and one woman. The day came for the final test to see which would get the assassin job. The CIA agents administering the test took one of the men to a large metal door, handed him a gun and said, "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. Take this gun and kill her." The man looked shocked. Finally he said, "You can't be serious! I could never shoot my own wife!" "You're not the right man for this job."says the CIA agent. They bring the second man to the same door and hand him a gun. The CIA agent gives the second man the same instructions as the first. The second man looks a bit shocked, but he takes the gun and goes into the room. All's quiet for several minutes, then the door opens. The man comes out of the room with tears in his eyes. "I tried to shoot her, but I just couldn't kill my wife. I guess I'm not the right man for the job." "No," the CIA agent replies, "you don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go home." The CIA agents takes the woman for her turn. They lead her to the same door to the same room and hand her the same gun. "We must be sure that you will follow instructions no matter what the circumstances. This is your final test. Inside you will find your husband sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill him." The woman takes the gun and opens the door. Before the door even closes the agents hear the gun start firing. One shot after another for 13 shots. Then all hell breaks loose. They hear screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. This goes on for a couple of minutes, then all's quiet. The door opens slowly, and there stands the woman. She wipes the sweat from her brow and says, "You guys didn't tell me the gun was loaded with blanks! I had to beat him to death with the chair!"
