were fielding for new operatives, and a woman and a bloke applied.
the bloke was told to undertake a loyalty test, where he was given a gun and told to go into a room and shoot his wife, who the CIA had tied up there.
After a while of agonizing over it, and standing over her with the gun pointed, he emerged in tears - blubbering "no, I'm sorry - I can't do it. I just can't kill her. Please, just let her go."
He was shown the door.
Next came the woman's turn, she was given a gun and shown into the room where her husband was, and told "now prove you can be loyal to us. Go and shoot him."
The door shut, and they heard several bangs followed by a load of loud clattering.
With raised eyebrows, they were just about to enter the room to find out why the woman was making such a meal ofthe task, but she came out - puffing and panting and very dishevelled.
....
"You bastards!" she said. "You could have told me they were blanks, I had to beat the bugger to death with a chair leg!"
i thought it was quite funny anyway...
