From: "David Blair" 

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. The MORAL of this little story is to never forget to think
outside of the box.

However, THE CORRECT ANSWER is:
Run the old lady over and put her out of her misery. Have sex with the
perfect partner against the bus stop. Then drive off with the old friend
for some beers.
