  • Moral dilemma (old?)

    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







    THINK!!!!!












    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 passionate sex with the perfect partner on the hood of the
    car, then drive off with the old friend for a few drinks.

    I just love happy endings!

    The bigger question is what kind of shitty car do you have that can't hold three people other than yourself? Seriously?

    Buy a nicer car. If you can't somehow get a vehicle that takes passengers, you have bigger problems than who to pick up.

    (You know what they call a vehicle that only seats one? A BICYCLE.)

    I'm the least you could do
    If only life were as easy as you
    I'm the least you could do, oh yeah
    If only life were as easy as you
    I would still get screwed

      No - the bigger question is wtf is wrong with you? ......................... you are surely entitled to your opinions but for crying in a bucket try a novel experience and enjoy a joke for what it is only - don't always go and **** it up with some random elevated shit

        How big is the risk that your friend will drive of with your car and the partner of your dreams?
        (and then you are stuck with carrying that old lady to the hospital )

          Sar...casm.

          It's glurge, and thus I answer sarcastically!

          Besides which, if I applied for a job and they asked me a question like that... well, they'd get sued by half the applicants for religious/moral discrimination, since the question is clearly intended to judge someone based on non-employment reasons, now isn't it?
