My son who is in Middle School came home with this joke that was told at the beginning of a class by the male teacher.
3 applicants were going through the final phase of their FBI Academy admission process.
On the last day they were told to bring their wives with them. The wives were separated from their husbands, ostensibly for a tour of the FBI Academy.
However, several minutes later the first applicant was pulled aside and quietly told: “You wife is sitting in the next room. There is a loaded gun on the table. If you want to join the FBI you will have to go in there and shoot her.” The first applicant walks into the room and almost immediately walks out saying “I just can’t do it.” The FBI agents tell him “Congratulations, you passed the test.”
The second applicant was then pulled aside and quietly told: “You wife is sitting in the next room. There is a loaded gun on the table. If you want to join the FBI you will have to go in there and shoot her.” The first applicant walks into the room and several seconds later walks out saying “I just can’t do it.” The FBI agents tell him “Congratulations, you passed the test.”
The third applicant was then pulled aside and quietly told: “You wife is sitting in the next room. There is a loaded gun on the table. If you want to join the FBI you will have to go in there and shoot her.” The first applicant walks into the room. The agents hear “click, click, click” and then some loud crashing. And suddenly the third applicant walks out of the room. The FBI agents ask him, “What happened?” The third applicant answered “The gun was unloaded so I had to use the chair.”
And they worry about the kids …
