Its old but good

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. (scroll down)






























































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 injured and will 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, sh4g the perfect
partner on the bonnet of the car, then drive off with
the old friend for a few beers.

God, I just love happy endings
