From 75 candidates for a new anti-terrorist post the CIA narrowed the pool down to the strongest contenders, three men aged 25, 35, and 45 years. "Gentlemen," the administer said, "we have a final task for you. It's a test of your loyalty to the agency."
With that he handed the 25-year-old a pistol and explained, "Your wife is in a nearby cell. We can only be sure of your devotion if you go there and kill her." The young man gulped hard and went into the next room. After a few minutes of silence he returned, shaking his head and apologizing, "I can't do it, sir."
The agent said, "I understand, son; you can go now." Then the 35-year-old went to his wife's cell. He soon came back saying, "I can't; we have two children."
At last it was the 45-year-old's turn. With steely resolve, he grabbed the gun and marched next door. As the administer and his staff waited, they heard gunshots and violent wrestling in the other room. Finally the candidate emerged, sweating and bruised.
He put the gun on the administrator's desk and huffed,
...... "Some idiot put blanks in the gun; so i had to strangle her." ....
