There was an opening with the CIA for an assassin, and they needed a female assassin. These highly classified positions are hard to fill, anf there's a lot of testing and background checks involved before you can even be considered for the position.
The day came for the final test to see which woman would get the extremely secretive job. The CIA men adminstering the test took one of the women to a large metal door and handed her a Smith and Wesson .357 revolver. "We must know that you will follow our instructions whatever the circumstances," they explained. "Inside this room, you will find your husband sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill him." The woman looked horrified and exclaimed, "You can't be serious! I could never shoot my husband!" The CIA men told her that because of that, she was not the right woman for the job.
So they brought the second woman to the door and told her the same thing, to go into the room to kill her husband. She looked a bit shocked but nonetheless went into the room. All was quiet for five minutes, then the door opened. With tears in her eyes, the woman said, "I looked him in the eye and I just cannot do it. I guess I am not the right woman for this job." The CIA men agreed that she indeed wasn't, and sent her on her way.
Now they had only the one woman to test. They led her to the same door and handed her the same gun, and gave her the same instructions. She took the gun and opened the door. Before the door even closed all the way, the men heard the gun start firing, one after the another for six shots. Then all hell broke loose in the room. They heard screaming, thrashing, and banging on the walls. This went on for several minutes, then all went quiet.
The door opened slowly, and there stood the woman. She wiped the sweat from her brow and said, "You didn't tell me the gun was loaded with blanks. I had to beat the son of a bitch with the chair!"
