Your are driving along in your car on a wild and stormy night

Saw this on the book of faces and thought it was pretty good.

Your are driving along in your car on a wild and stormy night. You pass by a buss 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 woman (or man) you have been dreaming about.

Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there can only be one passenger in your car?

Think about if 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 day, 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 a good answer. He simply answered:

“I would give my 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 woman of my dreams.”

It can really pay off to “think outsidde the box.”
