*Read the following. Answer the question....I will post the answer after we get some discussion..... 8)
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?

When/where did I get this two-seater? I can only pick one person up? I would naturally stop for my buddy, but seeing the old lady there, I would probably ask him if he minded waiting so I could help her.
I stop all the time for roadside strangers; the only people I have reservations about picking up are hitchers, just because DoT has everyone paranoid about them, and I feel bad about that.

Say hi to my buddy. Tell him that I'm going to give this little old lady a ride and then come back to pick him up. If a friend couldn't understand that then he/she is lame.
As far as the hot chick waiting....there's plenty of hot chicks in the world. Can always find another one.
Or just drive by, and yell at them
"shoulda brought a raincoat be-atches!!!!". And keep going.

*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.
