Moral Dilemna

[jimi]

Upon cleaning the boat I discovered a leather sporran full of silver and grubby bits of paper. Should I:
1)Return all to rightful owner
2)Spend the money and return sporran
3)Keep it all
4)Give it to weekend Julie

Answers on a tenner to me please.

Re: Moral Dilemma

As a man from jockland I think you are going to need therapy if you carry out any of your options.

It is too late now you have found it, whatever you do is going to be painful, the moral here is never to clean the boat I think.

It is a waste of time and it annoys the pig.

another e-mail round robin but quite amusing...


You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night, when
you 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 can
only be one passenger in your car?
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."

Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought
limitations. Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box."

You're not finished yet!

Keep going

However, the correct answer is to run the old lady over and put her out
of her misery, have sex with the perfect partner against the bus stop,
then drive off with the old friend for some beers.

God, I just love happy endings

How embarrassing

It must have been for you, Para, a thoroughgoing and much respected seaman of the old school, to have been aboard such a hell ship were the drunken skipper was unable to decross his eyes, and distinguish between a position south of the Isle of Wight, and the car park at Fleet service station.

I trust you have returned to the paths of righteousness, where such evil devices as chartplotters are emptied of their vitals and used to store spare Fray Bentos iron rations.

PS - what is a cursor?

Dilemma is only associated with confusion, it is guilt which is associated with morals. So in my view you can rightfully "keep it all".

Son took hand held GPS, from boat, on his DofE Gold Expedition on Kinder Scout.

Expedition log reads something like:- Having walked for ... hours in poor visibility we believe that we have arrived at WP... (marker post). Switched on GPS to confirm position before setting off again. Oh b****r, we're back in Dad's front garden.

Having moved a distance since last activated, when batteries were checked in our drive, the set was showing it's last known position whilst it scratched it's head and sorted out a new one.

I know that this is simply a hypothetical question and not a real one because no, absolutely no, sporran partner would ever be separated from his silver.
