    Morality Test: How well would you do?

    Morality Test

    You are driving along 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 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.

    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 is to run the old lady over and put her out of
    her misery, have sex with the perfect partner against the bus stop sign,
    then drive off with the old friend for some beers.

    So much for my answer...

    None - I don't want to get the seat wet.

        I would have got hired, but I do like the correct answer better.

              None. Can't stop. On my way to the PO with Shark Guards in the seat. I'd wave at my friend, talk to my wife later and dial 911 on the way though.

                Didn't see that one coming. Loved it! Now to get some paper towels and clean the screen...

                  I remembered seeing it in a movie but could not remember which or when. Now the strange thing is.... I pulled that from an old joke list that I ran, and it's dated June 17, 1996! and I remember one prior to that that had an Eddie Murphy feel to it.
