waiting for a 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, knowingvery well that there could only be one passenger inyour car?

* or you could take the old friend because he oncesaved your life, and this would be the perfect henceto pay him back.
* However, you may never be able to find your perfectmate again.
The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants)had no trouble coming up with his answer.

bus with the partner of my dreams."
