FBI Assassin Recruitment Test

(This is one of the funniest jokes I've ever heard - enjoy!)

The FBI had an opening for an assassin. After all the background checks, interviews and testings were done three finalists remained. Richard, Sam and Jane were to be given a final test.

For the final test, the FBI agents took Richard to a large metal door and handed him a gun. "We must know that you will follow instructions no matter what the circumstances. Inside this room you will find Betty, your wife, sitting in a chair. Take this gun and shoot her and kill her." Clearly shocked, Richard 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."

Sam was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about five minutes. Sam came out with tears in his eyes, "I tried, I really tried but I just can’t kill my wife." The agent said, "It's alright. But you don’t have what it takes for this position. Take your wife and go home."

Finally it was Jane’s turn. She was given the same instructions, to kill her husband Bob. She took the gun and went into the room. Immediately shots were heard. Then silence. Then, all of a sudden, they heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls, the sound of chairs being thrown and then....more screaming! After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood Jane, hair all wild, pouring sweat and gasping to catch her breath. With an angry look at the two wide-eyed FBI agents, she exclaimed, "Man, you guys didn't tell me the gun was loaded with blanks! I had to beat him to death with a chair!!!"
