An Ethical/Moral question for you all.

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>At a BBQ on Saturday, a good friend of mine asked this question to everyone gathered. I decided to answer last, not because I was positive I knew how to answer, but I had answered similar questions on Job interviews.

As you are driving your 2 seater car along a windey stretch of highway during a thunderstorm, you see three people at a bus stop ahead of you. One is an elderly lady who looks in need of medical attention, one is an old friend who once saved your life, and one looks like the woman/man of your dreams. Whom do you pick up?</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>The old lady. My friend would know that saving a life, like the lady, is more important than him getting wet. Forget the other woman, I don't her her personallity.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Heh, this is easy, give your car to your friend to drive the old lady back to the hospital, while you stick around and flirt in the rain, she'll be impressed by your bravdo giving your car to your friend to save a life and all. :)</div>

[G-man Joe]

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>Maybe I shouldn't have taken this question so seriously. 8^)</div>

[Julius Seeker]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Then take the girl of your dreams home and introduce her to your wife and hope for a little 3 way action.</div>

[Eric]

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Bwaha, kudos to me then.</div>

[the Gray]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Eric did indeed get the 'right' answer. It's the type of question some employers ask to see if you can think outside the box. That's my mind on any given day though.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Too bad employers don't want you to think outside the box in a real life situation. No no no...you have to maintain the status quo and any new ideas are dangerous.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>The teaching job especially encouraged creative teaching methods. Mainly because the kids were not enthusiastic at all. Also, it was a Native-Canadian School in the N.W.T. where if you're willing to go, they want you.

For example, I came up with the idea of a integrated Hockey pool for my 6 Math pupils so that we could use different addition/subtraction/muli-X/Division problems in a situation they could relate to. I had them create comic books for english, grammar counted, and various other ideas. Those were the most successful though.</div>
