Two men and a woman were applying to be FBI agents and had undergone
extensive testing for the job. For the final test, the FBI agents took
one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun.
"We must know that you will follow 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're 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 5 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. 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, 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. "This gun is
loaded with blanks" she said. "I had to beat him to death with the
chair."
