This question was once actually used as part of a job application.
Moral Dilemma
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
be only one passenger in your car?
Think before you continue reading........

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 old
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." _________________ MUTANT NINJA HERO
