A Moral Dilemma (Kind of)

[Guest]

A Moral/Ethical Dilemma

You are driving down the road on a wild, stormy night when you pass by a bus stop. There are 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.

There is room for only one passenger in your car. To whom will you offer a ride?

Think before you continue reading.

This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application.

The candidate who was hired 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, have sex with the perfect partner on the hood of the car, then drive off with the old friend for a few beers.

Or kill them all and take their wallets, now you have money for beer!! Screw the old friend, if he was any kind of friend he would have kept in touch. The old lady, well she is done. And the partner will just take half your money you could be spending on beer.

LMAO!!!!!

 

[Ravin the Poet]

See, I was probably drunk, you tried to take half my money and I broke up with you. Because I don't remember much about our dating.

Damn memory

Did we do that too?

I seem to remember finding feathers in the oddest places for awhile...


just kidding min, no amount of alcohol could make me forget you...although if I had you and then lost you I would probably try to make it so...

want me to hold your hair out of the way while you do that?

Here, have a glass of water...

but it only goes so far...I ain't kissing you again until you brush your teeth.

I would say use dark magicks on the old lady to steal what's left of her lifeforce before it all goes to waste. Use the chloroform on the perfect partner so you can clone him/her/both into a harem of mindless sex slaves later. Also remember to shoot the old friend. You have to satisfy that hit contract sooner or later anyway.

So did that win the morality award?

*drags Belegon and drags him inside the closet.... Ooooo ...OOOOOo...OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! (Aussie joke, Oooohhh Mrs. Marsh, It does get in!!)

Thanks, that feels MUCH better

 

[Liar]

I'd call 911 for the old lady. If she's really that bad, I'm nit the one to take care of her anyway - I'd just screw that up. Then I'd put my old friend in the driver's seat, myself in the passenger seat, and the partner of my dreams in my lap.

Duh.

I smugly thought "why, number two of course" and then scrolled down and was reminded of the fact that I really DO need to start thinking out of the box more often!
Thanks sarah.

How come the choice of runnin them all over and taking the money and then going to have kinky sex with "gay clowns with concealed weapons" wasn't even listed? I was all disappointed.

 

[Guest]

LMAO!!!!!

How come this isn't a poll? I have a multiple choice question, but I can't vote. I feel so cheated.

Ooops. I just liked the joke.

(I tried to edit and add a poll, but it isn't possible).
