    Default What to do?

    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 small 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 get out of the car & ask your old friend to take the old lady in your car.
    You stay with the 'perfect partner' & wait for the bus.

    Yep well done Cliff, you got the email too?

    and 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!!!!

    ask them to decide - if they are already there hopefully they have discussed thier needs with each other.

    alternatively take another road.....

    You only need to pick up one , as they are all the same person, the old lady IS the old friend who WOULD have been the perfect partner 30 years ago
    I try and do new things twice.. the first time to see if I can do it.. the second time to see if I like it

    Luckily the friend who saved your life saved it because he/she was a doctor...

    Thus it only makes sense to leave them to save the old lady and go off with the perfect partner...

    With my luck I'd run outta juice just as I pulled up. So I'd ask my ol' mate to keep me company and catch up on old times, while the two women push.

    After all, the perfect partner wouldn't mind (she's perfect) and I'd be giving some meaning to the ol' girls' last few hours...
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.
