The CIA job hunt

The CIA had an opening for an assassin. After all of the background checks, interviews, and testing were done there were three finalists — two men and one woman. For the final test, the CIA agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun.

“We must know that you will follow your instructions, no matter what the circumstances. Inside this room you will find your wife sitting in a chair. You have to kill her.” The first man said.“You can’t be serious. I could never shoot my wife,”

The agent replies, “Then you’re not the right man for this job."

The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about five minutes. Then the agent came out with tears in his eyes. “I tried, but I can’t kill my wife.” The agent replies, “You don’t have what it takes. Take your wife and go home.”

Finally, it was the woman’s turn. Only she was told to kill her husband. She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one shot after another. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman. She wiped the sweat from her brow and said, “You guys didn’t tell me the gun was loaded with blanks. So I had to beat him to death with the chair.”

Coke or Pepsi that is the question

Every time you go to a new restaurant you always have to ask one question; “Do you have Coke or Pepsi products?” Now you know the answer will always will be the opposite of what you want. I am in the mood for Mt Dew, it will be Coke.

Now I do not taste a major difference between Coke and Pepsi. Some guy said that this was good and tried to produce the same taste in his kitchen. What came first the Coke or the Pepsi? I have no clue and I am too lazy to look it up. Any way I know people that will only drink Coke and will only drink Coke if the date on it is months away. If the expiration date is close, they will not drink it.

I rather pay $0.65 for a 2 liter bottle of store brand and dump my Captain into it then spend the $1.39 for a name brand bottle. If you look at the ingredients, all of them are there that rot away your teeth and make you run in circles. And it tastes the same to me.

So I ask you one question on this Good Friday: “Coke or Pepsi?”

My answer: "Whatever is on sale!"
