moral/ethical dilemma OT

[Don Coatney]

You are driving down the road in your big butt business coupe 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 your way with the perfect partner on the hood

of the car, then drive off with the old friend for a few beers.

.......Jeez, I just love happy endings!

Always lots of room in these old buggy's. While stationed at Granite City Army Depot, Illinois a few of us decided to take our dates on a picnic. Got 10 people in the car (4 door 52 Dodge) including myself. Four in the front, 6 in the back seat. By the time we got to the park for the picnic it started raining. So.....we had the picnic in the car. For some strange reason, no one seemed to mind though.

more than my share...lol

Good post Don. BUT.. (and that's a BIG BUT).. If my old friend cracked up my coupe, I might have to beat him severely with the old lady.

Don, you will have to use your imagination on that one.

Don, I am happy to see we are moral and ethical equals, bless you brother!

That's an interesting dilemma, Don.

While you're driving, and dealing with moral dilemma's, try this one...

[Plymouthy Adams]

base on the black and yellow caution to the right..I feel it is only prudent to follow this young lady till I can at least determine the reason for the caution...

I think I would have to follow that bike for awhile to make sure that person didn't break any traffic laws. Then when they did, I think I'd be shucking my public and moral duty if I didn't make a citizens arrest.

Don,

Sorta' like what would you do when you found that suitcase full of hunnert dollar bills in a motel closet. No one knows you've found it and you'll never have to tell anyone. Should you:

a. run home and share the good news with mamma

b. mail momma a post card - from Venezualia

c. call your pastor/priest and donate it all to the church

d. buy your dream yacht and SAIL to Venezualia

e. bury it all in the back yard under the dog house. Buy a mean dog and feed him raw meat

f. donate it all to this (ahemmmmm - gulp) forum . . . . . .
