OT - happy endings
ManhattanMan
You are driving down the road in your 2-seater sports 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 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.
YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS....................
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 because Obama's health care won't pay for her anyway;
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 love happy endings!

Not even wifey?
It's a Marxist ploy anyway. I can spot those commies ten miles away!

She hates to *ride* in my car, much less drive it...
I drive a 21 year old BMW.. she drives a new 350Z.
However, because you can only fit a set of jumper cables and a purse in the
back hatch of one of those things, every spring she does take my car to the
plant store and fills up the trunk and back seat up with flats of flowers.
She basically thinks of my car as a pick up truck.

So do I, but I'd rather have a sports car AND a perfect partner :o)
