Subject: CIA Agents

Three agents at the CIA Academy were about to graduate.  The instructor
called them into a room and said to the first one, "Take this gun and
go into the next room.  I want you to assassinate whomever you find there.
If you don't do this, you don't graduate."
The agent took the gun and went into the next room where he found his 
wife.  Taking one look at her, he returned to the instructor, threw his
gun, badge and ID down and quit, saying, "I can't do this."
The next agent went into the room and saw his own wife.  He hesitated a
moment, then he, too resigned.
The third agent took the gun and went into the room, leaving the 
instructor to wait.  The instructor heard six rapid shots, followed by
screams, thuds, crashes, then silence.  The door opened and out came the
third student all bloody, shirt in shreds, bleeding from several cuts
and said to the instructor, "You idiot, you gave me blanks--I had to
strangle her!"
