THE DILEMMA:
You're 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's about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect partner who you've 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.
YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS...................
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.................will be revealed after i've done my shopping unless you can work it out in the meantime :giggle:
Can I cheat....
Redpantherman sent me this last week.......
nah, i'll be nice and let it run!
i would put the old lady in the car,the old friend would think he did the right thing ,one life saved to save another sort of thing and the perfect partner would see a caring attitude and a good deed being done and would take my phone number with pleasure and a smile :thumbup:
or my other sugggestion,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
drag the perfect partner in car and ravish the arse off her :rascal: :rascal: :rascal:
im :rascal: :rascal: :rascal: :rascal: :rascal: always open to suggestions hun
Ok I'm back from shopping so here it is :giggle: I think Karl was the closest :bounce:
The correct answer is 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, then drive off with the old friend for a few beers.
:giggle:
This might get your thread locked, but here goes, cos the answer always makes me giggle like a girl.
Three gorgeous blondes go for the job as barmaid.
As always, the manager sets them an unknown test of honesty/integrity.
Each girl is given a trial shift.
During the shift, the manager drops a £20 note on the floor, unseen.
Gorgeous Blonde 1 picks up the cash, and pockets it, saying nothing.
Gorgeous Blonde 2 picks up the twenty and whispers to the manager "I've just found £20. Let's me and you split it £10 each, and say nothing to the brewery" and gives him a suggestive wink.
Gorgeous Blonde 3 picks up the note, gives it straight to the manager saying she'd found it on the floor.
Which one got the job ?
Well if this was a jobsworth test, I would say to just drive on would be the best answer because it would show that you are not going to be distracted from your job that you are actually being paid for !
I will start with number 3; entill you spend sometime with someone you do not know if they are the perfect partner, so discount number 3.
Second number 2; if someone has saved your life they will insist that you save the old lady's life, so discount number 2.
Last number 1; help the old lady, life is irreplaceable.
So it's number one.
