Moral Dilemmas
taken from "Dead & Alive", a Doug Anthony All Stars performance/recording


 
 
#1 - You're walking along a country road. It's a beautiful spring day. As you're walking along, you notice that up ahead in the distance, lying in the middle of the road in the dirt, there's a tiny baby sparrow. Both its wings are broken.

You have a hammer.
 

#2 - You're a medical student in your final year of study. It's a very very important year for you. Because of the economic climate, you're forced to live with your grandmother. She's a tattoo artist with Parkinson's disease. Every time she makes you a cup of coffee, she shakes so much it froths up the milk on top, which is something you can't stand.

You have a hammer.
 

#3 - You're a young and upwardly-mobile merchant banker. Your girlfriend has just fallen pregnant. You think a child at this point in your career could be detrimental to your future career prospects.

You have a coathanger.
