A while back there was an opening in the CIA for an assassin. These highly classified positions are extremely difficult to fill, requiring an extensive background check, training, and testing before candidates are even considered for the position. After reviewing several applicants and completing all the checks and training, the field was narrowed to the three most promising candidates.

The day came for the final test, which would determine which of equally qualified candidates would get the job. The final candidates consisted of two men and one woman. The men administering the test took the first candidate, a man, down a corridor to a closed door and handed him a gun saying, "We must be completely assured that you will complete your assignments and follow instructions regardless of the circumstances. Inside this room you will find your wife, seated in a chair. Take this gun and kill her." The man, looking completely shocked said, "You can't be serious! I could never kill my wife." The CIA man said, "Well, then, you're obviously not the man for the job. Take your wife and go home."

They brought the next candidate in, the other man, and repeated the instructions. This man took the gun, walked into the room and closed the door. However, after five minutes of silence, the door opened and the man handed the CIA tester the gun, saying, "I just couldn't do it. I couldn't kill my wife. I tried to pull the trigger but I just couldn't do it." The CIA man said, "Well, then, you're obviously not the man for the job. Take your wife and go home."

Then they brought the woman down the corridor to the closed door, handed her a gun, and said, "We must be completely assured that you will complete your assignments and follow instructions regardless of the circumstances. Inside this room you will find your husband, seated in a chair. Take this gun and kill him." The woman took the gun, walked into the room, and before the door closed all the way, the CIA men heard the gun start firing. One shot after another, for thirteen shots, the noise continued. Then all **** broke loose. For the next several minutes, the men heard screaming, cursing, furniture crashing and banging on the walls; then suddenly, silence.

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! I had to beat him to death with the chair!"

Beware the ghost of Everton past

David Moyes: His rhetoric concerning the January transfer window is alarmingly cautious. Is it a transfter market ploy or a worrying sign of complacency?





So, David Moyes has played down rumours of a spending spree next month and hinted that he may not make any new signings at all during the January transfer window.

It may very well be just a smokescreen, an attempt to lull our rivals into a false sense of security or prevent potential sellers from hiking up their asking prices. It could be an exercise in managing expectations aimed at checking the fervour that could be unleashed among Evertonians slavering for multi-million pound signings when the transfer window opens on New Year's Day. Or it could simply be a reflection of the financial realities under which the manager will continue to operate despite the Board's assurance that cash for transfers is not dependent on the success of the Fortress Sports Fund's proposed investment.

The one thing I pray it isn't is a conscious and unforced decision on the part of Moyes to forego what is in my eyes an opportunity to really capitalise on Everton's fantastic position in the league going into the festive season.

While disappointing, the tedious 0-0 draw at Blackburn may have deflated the post-derby celebrations with a timely reminder of the limitations of the current Everton squad. Determination, passion and confidence have gone a long way to propelling the Blues into early Champions League contention, but when they go missing for 90 minutes and there isn't the skill and inspiration to overcome that, then winning is a tall order.
