You are driving down the road in your car on a wild and 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. Think nicely before scrolling down to find the answer................................ ......................................... 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 thought limitations. Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box." |

I know your answer Ken...
Drive over the old lady, she is dying anyway, get with the chick and once you're done, take your friend out for a beer... Hopefully not all men think this way!!! I have another solution to this answer, not extremely legal but I did this a few times while still in school... Load the old lady on the bike, loads your friend behind her and ask the girl for her number (I know loading 3 people on a bike is not legal but as I said we did it in school and were never caught, coz when we saw a copper, we used to drop the back person off and they would walk until we had passed the cops) Drop the old lady off at the hosiptal, go and have a few drinks with your buddy and give the girl a call in the morning. Not as clever as this answer. Maybe someone else has another method to solve this problem..... |
