A Quiz for you

[Natasha]

You are driving along on a wild stormy night. You pass by a bus stop, and
you see three people waiting for the bus:

1. An old lady who 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, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car?

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. Think before you continue reading. WHAT DID HE SAY?

I would let the old friend take my car and drive the old lady to the hospital as I stayed and got to know the perfect women better.

 

[Natasha]

Oh darn I see you already read this one in your email like me.

 

[JamesK]

In all honesty, I did not get an email about it. No one emails me stuff like that because work does not like it. I just thought about how I could fix all three situations.

 

[socaldiver]

I would give my vehicle to my friend to transport the person dying and would stay with my dream lover.

For the record, I'm posting this BEFORE I read any replies.
I don't know what the applicant said but I would say:

"I'm not a bus-driver, they all can wait."

 

[Diversauras]

is the perfect girl a diver with her own gear? If not the best friend can have her, I'd make the humatarian run...

 

[Hawk]

Leave the dying old lady and your friend and take the dream gal with you.

The friend once saved your life, he can do it again for someone else! There is no greater feeling than saving someone, and there is more room on a bus if he needs to do any emergency work. You don't need to pass on the situation at hand this way and everybody is happy!



Later, Hawk.
