You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night.?

Question

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 man (or) woman 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 dream lover 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 woman of my dreams."

Answer 1

Well,its not literally a riddle anymore cuz you answered it.

Answer 2

He may have saved my life.......but there is no way I am lending him my car to my friend to save a little old lady who is past her expiry date..........THe friend can wait for the bus......I am sure he will understand that my need to be with the girl of my dreams is more important.......Besides there is more than one seat in the car isn't there?

Finally I do not think the girl of my dreams would like to be picked up by a complete stranger.....if she did then she would stop being the girl of my dreams....

So I guess I will just drive on.........

Answer 3

I would help that old friend who had once saved my life. Helping an old lady is risky because if she dies then I would be involved in a Police case. The perfect partner is a stranger and strangers should never be trusted because they can be criminals or wrong persons.

Answer 4

If only we all had the compassion and wittiness to think and act upon that, I myself would never have thought of that. It's amazing how nice people can be when they choose to be. Thank you for sharing this.

Answer 5

Cute

Answer 8

Good question, i like it

joke for you

There was a man sitting at a bar, and he looks over at the gentleman sitting next to him and says, "Hey, you look familiar.
Are you from around here?" The man answers, "Yeah, I live down the street."
"No kidding?" says the first man, "Well, so do I. And hey, you look about my age. Where did you go to high school?"
"Oh I went to Francis Lewis over on Utopia. Graduated in '66.
How 'bout you?"
"Get out. I went to Francis Lewis. And I graduated in '66, too." "Where'd you go to college?"
"Beloit, in Wisconsin."
"No way! I went to Beloit too. What dorm?"
"Kevin Sullivan dorm."
"Sullivan? You're not going to believe this . . ."
Joe the bartender walks over, and the first guy says, "Joe, you won't believe it in a million years. This guy went to the same
high school as me, graduated the same year I did, and went to the same college. We were even in the same dorm. Isn't that amazing?"
Joe looks at them both and says, "Yeah, that's just plain amazing."
A third man comes in and says, "Hey Joe. What's new?" Joe says, "Not much. The Johnson twins are drunk again."

Bye
