(#7 in a series-MORAL, ETHICAL, AND REGULAR DILEMMAS) . 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. 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. . 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 limit actions. Never forget to Think Outside of the Box." .----------------- . HOWEVER.... . The correct answer as far as I'm concerned, 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. . God, I just love happy endings! I'm Buddy friendly, and you're welcome. .----------------------------------- . Agree? Disagree? Or, what would you do?

.....So does Willie Nelson. Recently he got busted (again) with a bag of Marijuana. His only comment, "It's a good thing I had a bag of Marijuana instead of a bag of spinach. I'd be dead by now."

I can appreciate that. Would you happen to know how astronauts are able to tell which direction is north, south, east, or west; when they are in outer space?

I say "thanks, but NO thanks", smile, then say I'm Buddy Friendly and you're welcome. Speaking of NO, why is "number" abbreviated as "NO"? When there is NO "o" in number?

I ask myself that ALL the time. Like the ones who come up to you on the street..."Really? Why are you wasting your time talking to me if you already know I'm gonna turn ya down?" Must not be a very good psychic.

WELL, IF.... the folks at the psychic hotlines were really psychic, wouldn't they call you first?

Well, if you're Alistair Cooke, they sell your leg bones and replace them with plastic pipes.

Susan mentions a good point which leads me to wonder, if you die and you have a broken leg do they take the cast off?

actually, when you're sitting down, you'll end up slapping your knee because it's more polite than possibly grazing the thigh of the person next to you. then again, i can't imagine anyone doing any of this except that skeevy old guy with the walker on family guy.

When something is funny why is it called a "knee-slapper" when you actually slap your thigh?

Why do you have to "put your two cents in" but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going too ?
Monday, October 23, 2006. 04:43PM by Bret Carpenter
can't you smell that smell
Monday, October 23, 2006. 04:15PM by Buddy 'Friendly' Wachenheimer
Do you wonder, do you ever really wonder, what "teen spirit". really smells like?
