3rd - nedesto with:
A few months ago, there was an opening with the CIA for an assassin. These highly clandestine positions are hard to fill, and then there's a lot of testing and background scrutiny involved before you can even be considered for the position. After sending some applicants through the background checks and the training and the testing, they narrowed the possible choices down to three: two males and one female, but there was only one position available.

The day came for the final test to see which person would get to have the secretive job. The men administering the test took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun. "We must know that you will follow our orders whatever the circumstances," they calmly told him. "Inside this room, you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Now you must take the gun and kill her."

The man looked horrified and said, "No! You can't be serious!" "I wouldn't ever harm my dear wife!" he sobbed. "Well," said the tough CIA man, "you're definitely not the right man for the job then. Now leave."

So then they brought the second man to the same door and handed him the gun. "We must know that you will follow our orders no matter what the circumstances." Then they told the second man, "Inside you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Now take the gun and kill her."
~
The second man looked very shocked and sick, but nevertheless took the gun and went armed into the room. All was silent for about five minutes. The door opened; the man came out of the room clenching his eyes in pain. Crying, he said. "I panicked. I tried to shoot twice, but I just couldn't pull the trigger and shoot my wife. I guess I was never the man for the job." "No," the CIA man replied, "You don't have the icy nerves of a CIA agent. You can go home with your wife."

Now only the woman was left. The CIA guys led her to the same door and same room and handed her the gun. They said, "We must be sure you will follow every instruction no matter what the circumstances; this is your final test. Inside you will find your husband sitting in a chair. Take this gun, go in, and kill him with it."

The woman took the gun, ran, and opened the door. Before the door even closed all the way, the CIA men heard the gun start firing, one shot after another for fifteen shots. All hell broke loose in the room. They heard manic screaming, clanking, and frantic banging on the walls. This went on for several minutes; then all went silent.

The door opened slowly, and there stood the woman. She wiped sweat from her brow and ranted, "You guys didn't tell me the gun was loaded with blanks. I had to beat the son of a bitch to death with the chair!"

BRITAIN'S NEW DESTROYER

A Press Release to report the introduction of the latest British Type 45 Destroyers:

Details have been released regarding Britain's introduction of the next generation of fighting ships. The Royal Navy is proud of the cutting edge capabilities of the fleet of Type 45 destroyers. Costing £850 million to build, these destroyers have been designed to meet the needs of the 21st century. In addition to having ongoing state of the art technology, weaponry, and satellite guidance systems, the ships will also comply with the very latest employment, equality, Health and Safety and Human Rights legislations.

These ships will be able to remain at sea for several months and are positively bristling with facilities. For example, the new user friendly crow's nest comes equipped with full wheelchair access.

Live ammunition has been replaced with paintballs in order to minimise the risk of anyone getting hurt and to reduce the number of possible compensation claims.

Stress counsellors and lawyers will be on hand 24 hours a day, and each ship will have its own onboard industrial tribunal too.

The crew will have the same number of women as men, being balanced strictly by the book in accordance with the current Home Office directives on race, gender, sexuality and disabilities.

Sailors will only have to work for a maximum of 37 hours per week in line with Brussels Health and Safety job rules, even in wartime!

All bunks will be double occupancy, and the destroyers will all come equipped with a maternity ward located on the same deck as the Gay Disco.

Tobacco will be banned throughout the ship, but cannabis will be allowed in the Wardroom.
=
The Royal Navy is anxious to shed its flawed traditional reputation for "Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash". Out goes the occasional rum ration which is to be replaced by Perrier water. Although sodomy stays, it has now been extended to include naval ratings under 18. The lash will still be made available but only by request.

Saluting officers has been ditched because it is elitist, and will be replaced by the more informal "Hello sailor".

All notices displayed onboard will be printed in exactly 37 different languages (and 4 in Braille).

Crew members will no longer be required to ask permission to grow beards or moustaches, even the women.

The Ministry Of Defence is working on a new, updated "Non-specific" flag based on the controversial British Airways "Ethnic" tailfin design, because the White Ensign is considered to be offensive to minorities.

The ship is scheduled to be launched on 25th August in a ceremony conducted by the cleric Captain Hook, VIP (late of Finsbury Park Mosque) who will smash a petrol bomb over the hull. The ship will gently slide down into the water to the catchy 'Village People' tune "In the Navy", played by the trusty band of Her Majesty's Royal Marines.

Sea Trials are expected to take place, when the first of the new destroyers HMS Cautious, sets out on her maiden mission. It will be escorting 50 boatloads of illegal immigrants across the channel for resettlement in 4 towns along the south coast.

The Prime Minister said that, whilst the new Type 45 ships reflected the very latest in modern thinking, they were also capable of being up-graded to comply with any new legislation that may be introduced. His final words were: "Britain never waives the rules!"
