Thinking outside the Box



 



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


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.


Don't you just love happy endings?

Well, you're special.

And I make exceptions for riders of the short bus!

Saw that one coming.


I ride the express baby. Parking in downtown Baltimore is almost as much as my car payment.

And you don't want to take a parking spot away from Ray Lewis or he might shoot you!

You got that right, just walking to the bus stop can be scary in the winter when it's dark. Baltimore City is not the same as when I was growing up.
