Let me know if I screw up this one...
A position for the CIA has opened, and they are looking for an active duty military type to fill the role of an operative in hostile areas.
A sailor, a soldier, an airmen, and a marine are all in a room, waiting for their interview. Finally an agent appears and takes the sailor out of the room.
The agent tells him: "If you want this job, you're going to take this pistol through this door and your going to kill your wife."
The sailor says "No way! I am not going to shoot my wife. I'm outta here!"
The agent then goes to the soldier, takes him out of the room, and tells him the same thing.
The soldier looks at the pistol, and finally takes it. He walks through the door, as the agent waits patiently.
Finally the door opens and the soldier comes out "Cram this job up yer ass. I ain't shooting my wife."
So the agent goes to the airman, and once again tells him to take the gun and kill his wife.
A few minutes later the airman comes walking out, wife in arm, and waves goodbye to the agent.
The agent sighs, and finally calls on the marine.
"okay marine," he says, "Take this pistol. Go into that room. If you want this job you'll shoot her. Okay?"
So the marine snatches the pistol out of the agent's hand and charges into the room. A second later he hears gun shots. And then nothing. Finally the door opens and the marine comes out.
the agent asked "what the hell happened in there?"
The marine glares at him. "Some a$$hole loaded the gun with blanks. I had to choke the bitch to death."
