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 injured and will 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 on the hood of the
car, then drive off with the old friend for
a few beers.
God, I just love happy endings....!
