MORAL QUESTION

MORALS.

You are driving down the road 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.

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 her health insurance 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!

  1. Bob,

    I went with "Old Lady . . ."

    I was intrigued by "Give the car . . ."

    Laughed my ass off when I read your correct response.
