The FBI had an opening for an assassin. After all the background checks, interviews, and testing were done there were 3 finalists, Murphy, Dr. Ralph, and Sydney Carton esq. For the final test, the FBI agents took Murphy to a large metal door and handed him a gun. "We must know that you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances. Inside the room you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Kill Her!" Murphy 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." Dr. Ralph was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about 5 minutes. Then he came out with tears in his eyes, "I tried, but I can't kill my wife." The agent said, "You don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go home." Finally, it was Sydney's turn. He was given the same instructions, to kill his wife. He took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one after another. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood Sydeny. He wiped the sweat from his brow. "This gun was loaded with blanks" he said. "I had to beat her to death with the chair."
