CIA

<body>

The CIA was hiring for espionage agents. There were three applicants that day. One man was 25, one was 35 and one was 45 yrs old.

G. Gordon Liddy, the interviewer, asked the 25 yr old guy into his office and said "Lets see if you have the right-stuff for the job." He hands the guy a loaded pistol and says " Your wife is in the next room. Take this gun and kill her."

The 25 yr old guy hesitates and hands the gun back to Liddy and says "Sorry, I can't do it. I love her too much". He leaves the office.

The 35 yr old guy is ushered into Liddy's office and offered the same task. Handing him the gun, Liddy says "Your wife is in the next room. Take this gun and kill her." He hesitates, but takes the gun and enters the room. He emerges from the room a few moments later and hands the gun back to Liddy. "Sorry, I can't do it. I love her too much." he says, and leaves.

The 45 yr old guy is ushered into Liddy office and offered the same task. Handing him the gun, Liddy says "Your wife is in the next room. Take this gun and kill her." He takes the gun and enteres the room. A moment later, Liddy hears 6 shots from the room. Then he hears the sounds of a struggle. Chairs banging, tables crashing around, etc. Then silence....

Liddy brusts into the room and find the 45 yr old guy's wife dead on the floor. "What happened?" he said. The guy answers "Some asshole put blanks in that gun. I had to choke the bitch!"
