Ethical Dilemma
-------------------------

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.

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.. what you might do is decide . . . .

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.






Damn, I just love happy endings!

Thinking outside of the box can be very helpful sometimes.
