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

Wow... thanks Kev, that was very beautiful-
and inspirational as well.
I wish I could think like that but...
well, i choose my best friend first, the love next and the old lady last!
My bad huh?
I don't know. I'm just selfish I guess.
I wasn't exactly able to picture out how "dying" the old lady was-
maybe i'd have mad ea different decision.
Hey, can I copy and paste it so I can send it to everyone on my email add?
I really feel like passing this on 'cause it's a really difficult thought.
More difficult than the
"if you were a superhero who would you save?"
"one or many, love or duty, your mother or the world?"
type of test.
Thanks agaiN!

Well, I am not so self centered to own a car with only one passenger seat.
I would stop the minivan and offer all three a ride.
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

That being said.....
I'll let you guess the order of disembarkment.
