The CIA was hiring for a top secret position. 3 men were the finalists. Ages were 25, 50 and 70. Interviews went as follows:
CIA interviewer with 25 year old: "Everything looks good, You passed all tests. One final phase to this now. Your wife is in the room next door. I want you to take this gun, go in there and shoot her".
25 year old: "I can't do that. We were recently married. We have plans for our whole life".
Interviewer: "Well, sorry but you're not what we're looking for. Next"
Interviewer does the same spiel with the 70 year old:
70 year old: "I couldn't do that. We've been married almost 50 years. We have children and grandchildren. I love her dearly".
Interviewer: "Well, sorry but you're not what we're looking for. Next"
Interviewer does the same spiel with the 50 year old: "Everything looks good, You passed all tests. One final phase to this now. Your wife is in the room next door. I want you to take this gun, go in there and shoot her".
50 year old picks up the gun, shrugs and walks into the room with his wife. Interviewer hears BANG! BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG! Then he hears some screaming and shuffling around. The guy walks back in the room, torn clothes, hair messy and some scratches on his face.
Interviewer: "What the hell happened in there?"
50 year old says "Some idiot put blanks in this gun so I had to strangle her!"
