Three people..one seat..choose one

Imagine this...You are driving along in 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 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. Guess what was 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 thought limitations. Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box."
So what was yours ????? :)
Receieved it in mail. Don't get too serious guys :eek:hyeah: .
I answered perfect partner. Why? Old lady is dying so there's nothing more I can do. My friend, he saved my life, how dare I think that giving him a lift on a rainy night will repay the debt. In any case, he's my friend, he'll understand. Perfect partner...well, you don't meet one everyday. :bleh:
 
well I didnt think " outta the box " ;) ..... but this is what i thought ...

take the old lady since she needs the seat most , my good fr no doubt saved my life but can as of now take care of himself ( and wait for the next bus , as brought in by u later ....:p) , and about the partner for life .....how wud i know that by a glance ..... there are hell lotta good women around , someone or the other will fit my bill . Amen .
