Ethical Dilemma - Which Would You Do?
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.

Very good Arvin! [img]graemlins/awesomework.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]
PS: Aside from the punch line, the question is an outstanding lesson, and a great tool in psycology.

Well, as disturbing as it may sound, if you were really pure of heart you would:
- have sex with the old lady who is about to die, to remember her last few mins on earth in joy. - reward your old friend by giving him the girl. - drive on to the next bus stop. But we all know life is not that wack.
