You are driving along in your car 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 looks as if she 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 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 
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.” 
Never forget to “Think Outside of the Box.”
