Lateral Thinking My Arse!

There is a lateral thinking puzzle that goes thus:

You are driving along on a stormy night when you go past a bus stop. At the bus stop are three people. There is an old woman who seems in need of medical attention, there is an old friend who once saved your life, and there is the woman of your dreams. There is only space for one passenger in your car. What do you do?

Now I won't keep you in suspense; the 'correct' or normally given solution is this:

Give the keys of the car to your friend, and have him drive the old woman to the hospital while you wait at the bus stop with your dream woman.

The immediate problem I have with this answer is that it is completely unfair to your friend. I mean, this guy saved your life, it really seems to me that it's you who owes him a favour, not the other way around. Don't forget he's been waiting at the bus stop with this woman, and he probably fancies her as well if she's that amazing. Who knows, she might have liked him too, they just didn't want to do anything with an old lady dying next to them. Asking him to drive the biddy to the hospital while you stay there and steal his lay is tantamount to being a complete cunt. In my opinion. Excuse the strong language, but I felt it necessary. Hehe.

Here's what I'd do:

Run the old woman over to put her out of her misery. She's had a good innings. What's she doing at a bus stop in the middle of the night anyway? She should be in bed. Probably been out dogging. Then nail your dream girl on the bonnet and drive your mate down the pub to get him a drink. I think you owe him one.

Thanks for reading. Take it easy.
