....moral dilemma......
You are driving back from your gig on a wild, stormy night, when you pass by a bus stop (yes....we're assuming the existence of a night service...just for fun and to make the blog a teensy weensy bit music related...) 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 and haven't seen for years.
Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car (your back seats being occupied by drum kit/PA speakers/guitars etc? 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.'
HOWEVER...., The correct answer is to run the old lady over and put her out of her misery because Cameron's NHS won't now pay for her hospital visit anyway, have sex with the perfect partner on the bonnet of the car, then drive off with the old friend for a few beers.
