Today's Conundrum

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 savedyour 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. 

YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS..................... 

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 on the bonnet of 
the car, then drive off with the old friend for a few beers. 

I just love happy endings, don't you?
