The director of the CIA has to hire a new secret operative. He has narrowed it down to three final applicants. He schedules the three interviews side to side as he feels he can make the decision in a short session with each.
The big day comes for the three lucky applicants as each is called in to meet with the director from a waiting room.
The first candidate sits down after the initial introductions. The director says, "Son, you are one of three finalists for this position. In order for you to qualify, you need to prove your loyalty to me, this organization and to your country. I have selected a way for you to do this." The director slides a large handgun across the table and says, "Your wife is in the next room, take this gun, go in and shoot her in the head."
The candidate is so caught off guard that he just tells the director, "Sir with all respect, you are out of your mind. I have been married for six great years and I love this woman. I decline." With that he walks out of the office.
The director doesn't miss a step, he nods at a double mirror and says switch the wife for candidate two. He summons the second candidate and escorts him in. "Son, it is down to two candidates. If you want a chance at this position then show your loyalty to me, the organization and your country." He slides the gun across the table and tells him his wife is in the next room. "All you have to do is put a round in her head."
Much like the first candidate the second in dumbfounded. He stands up and says, "Sir, you can't ask this of me, I love my country, but I love my wife more. She is my childhood sweetheart. I regret I have to turn down the job sir." He hangs his head low and walks out of the office.
The director nods at the window and goes to retrieve the final applicant. As he leads him in he says, "Son, you are the last and final chance I have of finding a new agent. The two before you have failed this simple test." He slides the revolver across the table to him and tells him, "your wife is in the next room, take this gun and go put a round in her head. Do this and you will have proven your worthiness to me, this department and the country."
The man picks up the gun with zeal. He steps over and through a closed door and shuts it behind him. The director listens from his office and he hears a shot ring out. Then another shot is fired. Things are quiet for about ten seconds and suddenly thunderous noise comes from the room. Smashing, breaking wood and thumping sounds emanate from the room. Then there is complete silence. The director steps to the door and says, "Son is everything ok?"
A voice calls back, "Yes sir, some wise guy put blanks in the gun, but I was able to choke her to death."
