An Ethical Dilemma

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, then drive off with the old friend for
some beers.
