saturday scruples
this is just juvenile enough to do.
1. Your brother is an activist. You suspect he may be involved in a series of bombings. Do you notify authorities?
well, being an only child with no knowledge of the strength of sibling connections, my first thought was to get my nosey business out of his "activism" and focus on more comforting things, like baking chicken pot pies.
2. A friend's spouse is coming on to you. Do you tell the friend?
hell yea! then we can have a threesome.
3. Your company's profits will double if you replace 22 long-time employees with new software. Do you?
i don't think so.. especially if i were included in that pool of 22. i'm not saying that i ain't no team player; i just like to play for the little guys.
Comments
1. No. As a Berkeley native, I have kind of a soft spot for TNT-based activism.
2. No, but I'd yell at the spouse. I have a duty to turn them down and set them straight, not to hasten the demise of their marriage. That's between them.
3. In a heartbeat. I find that it's easier to have company for, say, a breakfast outing at a local diner, when they're not at work. :-) So...I'd implement the software, bask in the praise and pocket the cash, and buy the newly laid-off Bekee spinach-feta omelettes. Everybody's happy.
