Things Women do and a Tough Question

It may seem odd, but it is true. these are some things, that only women do:
  • A woman does not have a man’s habit to scratch her noggin when she thinks of an answer to a confusing question. Women do not like to show they are confused. They never want to ruin their hairdo with that gesture either.
  • Women never shudder when a male character gets kicked in the groin in a movie.
  • When a woman yawns she covers her mouth with the palm of her hand, not with a fist.
  • After taking a bath, a woman grabs a towel and makes a turban on her head from it, at least for one minute. The reasons of such a weird Oriental ritual are unknown.
  • A woman feels awkward if she does not carry anything in her hands. That is why they always carry their handbags around.
  • Sitting down in public transportation, women keep their legs together. That is why men often prefer to sit next to a woman because in this case they can sit spread-eagle.
  • When a woman dresses up to go out, she puts on a blouse first. Pants come second. Men work it vice versa.
Now it's time for the Tough Question:

You are driving down the road in your car in the middle of the night, while an intense storm is brewing. You suddenly 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?
This is a moral/ethical situation that was once actually used as part of a job application.
Think about it, you could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die soon, and thus you should
save her first. Or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life,
and this could be the chance to return the favor. However, you may never be
able to find your perfect mate again.
The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) came with this answer.
 "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."
Pretty good answer huh? I wonder what the job he was applying for was, eh? Write your answer/ reaction in the comments. Remember to "think outside of the box."
