The CIA had an opening for an assassin

It's an oldie, but a goodie...

The CIA had an opening for an assassin. After all the background checks,
interviews and testing were done, there were 3 finalists ... 2 men and a woman. For the final test, the CIA agent 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 this 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 five minutes. Then 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 shot 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. 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."

That was a good one. I bet they really do tests like that too if they can get away with it.

I was a special effects make-up artist, and after working on a few odd jobs a friend of mine sent me a link. It was the CIA's employment page and they were hiring special effects artists to do disguises. It would have been a dream job, but I was worried about someones life depending on my skills.

Not to mention I don't think I would have passed the financial background check. When I got my first checkbook, I never balanced it, just wrote checks and they turned to rubber, hehe.

I can neither confirm nor deny that any agency may or may not use any such aptitude test.

Anybody in the CIA, I am fluent in ARabic and know a LOT of farsi, you can hire me as a translator.
