A Dilemma... What would you do?

[downtownv]

A Moral, Ethical Question....


You are driving down the road in your Corvette 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.

YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS.....................

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 because Obama's health care won't pay for her hospital visit anyway, have sex with the perfect partner on the hood of the car, then drive off with the old friend for a few beers.

God, I just love happy endings!

Stubborn? You been talking to my wife?

[chrish]

I personally prefer the first answer. I wouldn't need the hood of the car, the woods would do just fine. And I don't drink or care whether I hang out w/ friends if I have my perfect mate in the woods. So, first answer.

[CJB]

Hopefully that perfect partner will give lots more happy endings....

Does she reload?

[Bawanna]

Does she clean fish and bait her own hook? And does she have a boat?

And here I was thinkin' right up till the last 'ya mighta just had sumtin' reasonable to post for once.

It's not complicated

Really doesn't require much thought.

The old lady is about to die no matter what.
I'd stop and grab my friend without hesitation (previous life saving not required).
The perfect partner I'm dreaming about is clearly a hallucination.

Pass on the old bag, pass on the mirage, pick up my friend.
EasyPeasy

Soooo... the job was only going to a liberal demmy anyway?

Seems that he found the perrrfect Awwwwww answer of giving away the keys to a car he'd never own (Corvettes don't come in Hybrid) to a friend who once paid for his Starbucks La-La-Latte when he forgot his debit card in his other plaid shorts, all to hang out in the oh-so-romantic rain with a woman who would actually be pissed at being stuck in the rain, waiting for a really late running bus, sitting with a real life Loser...

Such is the way of our other side, tell a great story that tugs at the heart, while ignoring reality completely.

I've seen it far to often. Good story though.

The premise is false. I would never have one of my Corvettes out of the garage on a stormy night.

Winner!

I'd drive on by. It's a rainy stormy night and I don't want to fool with people who don't have enough sense to get out of the rain.

O'Dell, you've been trumped. Love this answer. And by a 'sage' to boot! Possibly the wisest among us?

This for sure.
