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 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 and said, "You guys didn't
tell me the gun
was loaded with blanks. I had to beat him to death with
the chair!
