Happy Ending
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?


Think seriously about this 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 on the hood of the car,
then drive off with the old friend for a few beers.

...God, I just love happy endings
