Three men are applying for a job at the CIA. The first is thirty years old married for tens years,
the second is forty years old married for twenty years
and the third is fifty years old and married for thirty years.

The 30 year old is first and is told by the interviewer in order to become a member of the CIA
you must take this gun and go into this room and shoot your wife.
Well, he comes out of the room a half hour later and gives the man back the gun saying the job wasn't worth it
and he just couldn't shoot his wife...

The 40 year old is next to take the gun into the room with "his" wife.
One hour later he comes out crying, sobbing that he really needs this job, but
dammit, I just can't kill my wife. With that he throws the gun on the floor and storms out of the room.....

The 50 year old is next. He takes the gun into the room with his wife.
After about an hour and a half, all of a sudden there is the sound of six gunshots
and then the sound of chairs flying and other loud noises.
The man comes out of the room looking like hell. With large scratch marks on his face and
chest and barely able to catch his breath.

"Well," says the interviewer, "what the hell happened in there?"
The man responded, "somebody put blanks in my gun and I had to strangle her to death."
