Just for fun? What do you think?

[WalnutButter]

I had to take a psych evaluation for a job.

Question: If you put your money in a candy bar machine, and it accidentally gave you two candy bars, instead of one, would you take the second candy bar?

I aced the test, but I'm not going to tell you my answer.

What say you?

[Sparkie460]

Shit yeah I'd take it. It partially makes up for all the money those machines took of mine and didn't give me what I wanted.

[WalnutButter]

You got the job. You start on Monday.

[Sparkie460]

What are the hours? I already work from 7am to 7pm

[WalnutButter]

Well, you're too busy.

The main photographer at the Playboy mansion quit, so they're looking for a replacement.

[Sparkie460]

I'll work nights. I can't close my business

[WalnutButter]

It pays $13.00 per hour plus free lunches and a Yugo.

[Sparkie460]

Forget it. I haven't made $13 an hour in like 30 years.

[WalnutButter]

We'll get an illegal from Mexico to do it.

[Sparkie460]

Better yet, get an American homeless person. Let's help our own people first

[WalnutButter]

That won't work. The homeless in my city are all on Meth or heroin.

[Sparkie460]

I'll send a few of mine. They are hard workers. They go around all day collecting bottles and cans. They even pick up trash on the streets

[WalnutButter]

Deal.

[Sparkie460]

Thanks for the mho

[WalnutButter]

You're welccome

[bowenw]

I'd probably take it to make up for all the times it took my money and didn't give me anything.

[WalnutButter]

That was the correct answer. Winner winner, chicken dinner.

[bowenw]

Yay! Thank you.

[WalnutButter]

A person would have to be crazy to not take the extra candy bar.

[bowenw]

I assume that was your answer on the test if you aced it.

[Cynicaldreamer]

Yes, I'd take both! It's not speaking because you paid for said item-

It's not your fault if the machine had a "hiccup" and gave me an extra one. Nor is it stealing- the machine only functions when money is inserted right? There you go! I'd take it guilt free.

No worse than when a machine randomly eats your money and you get nothing.

[WalnutButter]

You passed the test!

[exitseven]

I would take the second candy bar and then sue the candy company because all that chocolate made me fat.

[WalnutButter]

I'm currently involved in a class-action lawsuit with a company manufacturing large forks. It's reckless and unhealthy.


And you passed the psych eval. The boss told me that anyone that said they wouldn't take the second candy bar is full of shit.

[exitseven]

Hahahaha. I was hired by a big tech company and I had to drive to another office to get my picture taken for an ID card. I went late in the day so I could just go home afterwards. When I left the building the parking lot was practically empty I noticed a new laptop lying on the ground. There was nobody around and I could have easily kept it but like a good guy I turned it in to the security desk I wondered if this was some kind of test to see if I was honest.

[WalnutButter]

In this day in age, there are so many cameras. My brother has one of those door bell cameras. We were driving to the lake, and he got a notice on his phone that a package arrived on his porch. We could see the actual delivery guy.

It's hard to imagine someone dropping a laptop on the ground and not noticing it. I can honestly say I've never lost a laptop in a parking lot.

[exitseven]

This was on 2000 before 9/11 and all the cameras.

[WalnutButter]

Cameras or not, your gut told you what to do. Your gut is your best friend.

Your heart will tell you what you want to hear.
Your brain can justify anything.
Your gut is always right, even though we don't always like what it's saying.



Your heart: OMG, all these girls are waving at me.



Your brain: They probably just heard I have an island place.



Your gut. Why in the fuck didn't you take the laptop?

[exitseven]

Too funny.

[exitseven]

Yes we do have a house on an island however it is less like Martha's Vineyrd and more like Alcatraz

[WalnutButter]

You should move into the lighthouse. lol


(I know that Jack wasn't in a lighthouse, but it would probably have the same outcome)

I can't remember who I was talking to, but I told a story about a guy that wants to retire to a remote cabin 8 hours North of Fairbanks. Other than work, I'm a homebody, but I'm not looking to dance with wolves or sasquatch.

[exitseven]

The winters are long up there. You really have to like to drink to survive the winter

[WalnutButter]

And when I said his cabin was 8 hours North, I meant by snowmobile, ONLY. He takes his whole family up there every Christmas. I don't know if he rents or owns snowmobiles, but he has a big family and they all pull toboggans to haul all the supplies and Christmas stuff. They have reindeer walking through their back yard. I love camping, but that is just crazy.

[exitseven]

Maybe a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there

[jamesgoldman]

I'll take it save it for later or give it to someone else

[Andres77]

Yes, I’m taking it.

[Matt-G]

I'd give one to a friend probably

[WalnutButter]

So you would take it.

[Matt-G]

I would
