A little test

Bell · Post by **Bell** » March 21st, 2004, 4:45 pm

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.

Take a pick. I'll list the appropriate answer later.

You give your car to your buddy and have him drive the old lady to the hospital while you stay with your partner.

3.. If the friend was your friend, he would look after the old lady to insure you got laid.

Not bad guys.

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, then drive off with the old friend for some beers. God, I just love happy endings.

No fair. You said it was a car not a 4x4.

Who let this kid in here. I read his response and knew this unknown had the answer and ruined it for me. I am retired and don't need a fucking job. So how could I pick anything else. I hate it when the voice of reason spakenth before me.
