A test

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 car?

This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually (supposedly) 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.

Will post the correct answer(s) in a bit.

...and be with the perfect partner.

I've never heard the one before. Good for me! :party:

Have your friend give the old lady a ride.

Stay back at the bus stop with your perfect partner.

while you wait for bus with perfect mate

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 out of her misery, have sex with the perfect partner against the bus stop, then drive off with the old friend for some beers.

If the "perfect" partner is so perfect why is he/she just sitting at bus stop while the old lady is dying?

As far as the friend that saved your life, homeboy/girl needs to get off his/her ass and help the old gal instead of waiting for the damn bus. Call 911, you idiot!

...how many of us have 3-seat cars? I can fit the friend, the partner, and the old lady easily into my small 4-door sedan.

you can actually buy them here in America.

The correct answer is the least obvious. Let your friend take the old lady home in your car. While you get familiar with the new young lady. Elvis Has Left the Building.
