Today I have a bit of a moral and ethical dilemma

for you to ponder...



You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy

night, when you pass by a bus stop, and you see

three people waiting for the bus:



1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.



2. An old friend who once saved your life.



3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.



Which one would you choose to offer a ride to,

knowing that there could only be one passenger in

your car?



Think before you continue reading...



...........................



This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once

actually used as part of a job application. You

could pick up the old lady, because she is going to

die, and thus you should save her first; Or, you

could take the old friend because he once saved your

life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay

him back. However, you may never be able to find your

perfect mate again.



The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants)

had no trouble coming up with his answer. He simply

answered: "I would give the car keys to my old

friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would

stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner

of my dreams."



Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up

our stubborn thought limitations. Never forget to

"Think Outside of the Box."



However, The correct answer is to run the old lady

over and put her out of her misery, have sex with

the perfect partner against the bus stop sign, then

drive off with the old friend for some beers.


Have a great day all,

Kevin
