If I'd already made the date with the interest, I would go on the date. If I had been thinking of setting a date for that day, I'd go to the concert.

I'm a little surprised everyone is saying they would go on the date.

I would DEFINITELY choose the concert (or whatever other event I had been dying to go to). I'd explain to the date that my best friend just got these once-in-a-lifetime tickets, and I can't pass it up. Then I'd ask to reschedule. If he didn't understand, and couldn't wait one more day to hang out with me, then screw him.

This!

Ironically, many people would choose to save their dog (with which they have a special relationship) over the stranger, but when it comes to this, they'd rather go out with a "stranger" than spend time with their best friend, to see a band that they've loved forever.

I don't like concerts (I have some ear problems and loud noises really irritate it) so I would choose the date. However, if best friend happened to have tickets to something else that I've been dying to go to I would totally choose that! Like if she had had tickets to the World Equestrian Games this past August I would totally have skipped the date!

Pretty much. A day or two isn't going to make a world of difference. I'd pick the concert/event.

I would think that this stranger would be able to save him/herself. Why is this person on the tracks anyway?

Come to think of it, why would I be randomly passing tracks?

Let the dog and the stranger fend for themselves.

there are. my dad works for the railroad.

and I'd have to save them both.
I can't kill my dog or a stranger unless the stranger is someone who rapes children. Then, I'd only save the dog.

I have to laugh at how analytical GCers are. It took me everything to just answer the question without adding anything to the hypothetical. Afterall, are we going to get to interview the person before we save him/her? "Why are you on the tracks?" "Are you a pedophile?" "Do you have children?"
LOL what the fuck is your signature? That sentence never even made any sense!

I completely understand. I've spent more on my furkid this year than many people spend on their children - and that's medication, tests, food, and daycare, not toys. He's not a toy type of guy.

I can't stop giggling over this one, though!


As for the porno, I've never seen one, don't plan to do so, so I'll pass.

Save the stranger. I don't have a dog.

The very idea of my parents doing the horizontal lambada turns my stomach. I know intellectually they must have done it at least once, otherwise I wouldn't exist. Still, ewww. So I'd rather watch a porno with my parents - with a stopwatch in hand, to time how long it takes them to flee the room. My guess is they'd be gone before the well-hung pizza delivery man could even ring the doorbell.

k_s is really me, trapped in his body. which, i imagine is awesome^2.

its a really silly scenario, and im a libra, so if i believed that astrological signs really affected character traits (Sheldon, anyone?), id just grab each of them by the hand and mosey off into the sunset.

but really, theyre BOTH stuch on tracks and I just HAPPEN to be there? if i save one, surely someone else will think "OMGWTFBBQ save that man/dog!" and save the other one.
