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:


An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
An old friend who once saved your life.
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?

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.

Answer / unknown

There is a reason as to why you have a car and they don't!
Simply drive by and waive! Also, if it's the woman of my
dreams why is she at a bus stop? Should she be driving a
Ferrari? Seriously, what a pointless question!
