The CIA was hiring an assassin.

The CIA posted an opening for an assassin. After all of the background checks, interviews, and testing were done there were three finalists, all men.
For the final test, the CIA agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun.
One of the CIA agents told the man: "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. You must kill her."
The man said, "No way I will do that; I could never shoot my wife." The agent said, "Then you're not the right man for this job."
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 streaming down his face."I tried, but I just couldn’t. I can't kill my wife." The agent said, "You are not the man for the job then. Take your wife and go home."
It was the last man’s turn at the test. Same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one shot after another. Then the agents heard screaming, loud crashing, and banging. After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and out came the man, covered with blood but otherwise okay. He wiped some of the sweat and blood from his brow, and said, "This gun is loaded with blanks. I had to beat her to death with the chair."
