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 was room for only one passenger in your car?
Think seriously about this 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 about 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 repay him. However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.

this was sent to be by a freind that had a job intervew here is the anwer that he emailed me... and the other is something he add as another 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 stubborn thought limitations. Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box."
HOWEVER....
Another correct answer could be to run the old lady over and put her out of her misery, have sex with the perfect partner on the hood of the car, and then drive off with the old friend for a few beers.
I just love happy endings!

The old friend. The senior is old. She will probably die soon or later (sorry if it sounds harsh, but it is true). As for the perfect partner, I could find one a little less perfect (I probably be a little sad, though).
Friends are important and forever. It would KILL me to lose a friend like that.

I would honestly pick number 2, but letting the friend drive the lady to the hospital sounds good too.

I would give my car keys to my old friend and have him ride the dying old lady to the hospital and ride the bus with my perfect partner.
