You are driving along your car on a wild, stormy
night, it's raining
heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and
you see three people
waiting for a 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 very well 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 hence to pay him back.

* However, you may never be able to find your
perfect mate again.



The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants)
had no trouble coming
up with his answer.
