Tortured Spies
Article #328
Author: Peter S. Muffoletto, C.P.A.
There are 3 spies that get captured.
One is French, one is English and the other is Italian and named Luigi.
Their captors come into the cell and grab the French spy and tie his hands behind a chair in the next room.
They torture him for 2 hours before he answers all questions and
gives up all of his secrets.
The captors throw the French spy back into the cell and grab the English spy.
They tie his hands behind the chair as well and torture him for 4 hours before he tells them what they want to know.
They throw him back into the cell and grab the Italian spy Luigi.
They tie his hands behind the chair and begin torturing. 4 hours go by, and Luigi isn't talking.
Then 8 hours, then 16 and after 24 hours they give up and throw him back into the cell .
The English and French spies are impressed, and ask him how he managed to not talk.
Luigi responds,
“I wanted to, but I couldn’t move my hands!”
