Dilema?

[StuyMac]

You are driving along on a wild stormy night. You pass by a bus stop,
and you see three people waiting for the bus:

1. An old lady who is about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect man(or)woman you have been dreaming about.

Which one would you choose, knowing that there could only be one passenger
in your car. 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
dream lover again.

The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming
up with his answer.

WHAT DID HE SAY?

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 woman of my dreams."

Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought
limitations! (think "out of the box").

Public transport is for prozzies and pikeys. They could all stay there. I would beep and wave as I went past though.. :p

Chimp,

Are you evil enough to wish for a large puddle by the bus stop....

That is a good answer.

Personally, as public transport is so poo, I would have had time to get the old dear to the hospital.
Meanwhile, my best mate, being my best mate, would hang onto the perfect lover for me.

On my return, best mate has the drivers seat while I and best lover have the back. Best lover is on my lap, so not technically a passenger ;) ;)

i couldnt fit myself and a pack of jaffa cakes in the back of mine. It would be hellish to have my ideal woman in the back of a 200sx* because when you wernt smacking your head on the unfeasibly large slope in the roof, you would be effing and blinding at having your legs jammed inbetween the transmission tunnel and the front seat runners, doing that silly pointy toe thing that makes you sit with your legs to one side and making you look like a true joey.

So let me get this straight. You give your keys to your mate and chuck the old dear in with him into your two seater, so when she pops it you don't have to deal with it, and your mate has experience of saving lives anyway, so he'll be well chuffed.

The girl of your dreams meanwhile, will be equally impressed by the prospect of having her 'bus journey plagued by some half-wit do-gooder who can't handle responsibility, and whose only useful function so far has been to rid her of the obnoxious drunk who has been trying to grope her and the old lady for the last twenty minutes.

Actually, I think Chimp's right, but for slightly different reasons.
1. How do you know the old dear is dying?
2. What are you doing butting in and stealing a girl from the guy who saved your life?
3. If you're so shallow as to recognize the girl of your dreams from a quick glimpse in bad visibility, you're unlikely to have any friends who would bother to save your life.
4. (And this is a biggy!) What if the girl of your dreams is the old dear?

"joey" I aint heard that said in years :)

[Nathan_200sx]

1/ if the old girl is dying theres no point in takeing her to hospital, let her die free rather than on a trolley
2/ if he's a realy good mate he'll understand and be happy that you've just pulled a fit chick
so the bird it is then

[Chimp]

hehe

I have resurrected a few lately in conversation with people mostly at work.. Have you been hiding nathan? I aint seen you posting for a while..?

Forgive me if these words dont travel to your neck of the woods.. so.. In my area, i have resurrected the follwoing terms..

Word Meaning
Joey - as seen in use here
Chod - Thats really rather rubbish eg, "thats a load of chod"
Tutankhamun - Substituted for "chinnyfob" meaning a lie, a fib, a chinny. (It is important to stroke your invisible beard when saying this) if you have a beard, then dont bother.
Good egg A good effort, a good show.
Bad hat The opposite of good egg.

thats all i can think of at the moment.

If the old dear's about to die, what does she need a lift for? (She'd only pass away due to an MI from your driving :) , and then leave you with lots of difficult questions to answer at the copshop "er yes officer, that is a dead old lady in my passenger seat, and no she's not my bird")

Yeah, it'd have to be the best-mate, with the possibility of the dream-girl on't back-seat, although I don't think my dream girl would/could ever be anorexic and 4 foot tall :D

:D

U wind the front passenger seat back mate :D :D
Im thinking i would leave the old woman to croak. Tell my mate to drive while the perfect woman lay on top of me (69 styleeeee ;) ) on the reclined passenger seat :D :D

[docwra]

Hmmmm, what if all three were the same person?? eh?? How about that then?? ;)
Or if your best mate was a doctor?? Id just take the bird in that case :)
In fact, Id just take the bird.
