“WHY WOMEN MAKE BETTER ASSASSINS”
The C I A had an opening for an assassin. After all the background checks,
interviews and testing were done, there were three finalists: two men
and a woman. For the final test, the C I A 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
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 are 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 five 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, so 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, and banging on the
walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and
there stood the woman, wiping sweat from her brow. "The gun was loaded
with blanks," she said. "I had to kill him with the chair.
