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."
Now that was the best answer..... Smart fellow.


Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our
stubborn thought limitations. Never forget to "Think
outside of the Box."


HOWEVER....


One answer was 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.

I'd pick up the old lady, and take her to the hospital.

My best friend was selfless enough to save my life. He'll understand that another life is in jeaporady and needs to be saved.

If the woman was TRULY my "perfect partner", she'd understand that I had to save the old lady's life, and I would be back for her ASAP.


That's what I would do.

I'd give the old lady a ride

Give the old friend my number and get theirs to get in touch with later.

If the guy is truly my 'perfect' partner, he'll find a way to find me again.....
