Got this in an email and thought it was food for thought......

I have a moral question for you. This is an imaginary situation, but I think it is fun to decide what one would do.

The situation: You are in the Middle East, and there is a huge flood in progress. Many homes have been lost, water supplies compromised and structures destroyed.

Let's say that you're a photographer and getting still photos for a news service, traveling alone, looking for particularly poignant scenes.

You come across Osama Bin Laden who has been swept away by the floodwaters. He is barely hanging on to a tree limb and is about to go under.

You can either put down your camera and save him, or take a Pulitzer Prize winning photograph of him as he loses his grip on the limb.

So, here's the question and think carefully before you answer the question below:

Which lens would you use?

which ever one is on the camera at the time. You may not have time to switch to another before he lets go.

Another moral question involves lawyers:

Though a mistake, a lawyer is hugely overpaid by a sweet old lady client. The moral question for him is whether to keep it all, or split it with his partners.

Speaking of lawyer jokes, I bet you don't know the difference between a lawyer and an affronted chicken.

(The affronted chicken clucks defiance.)

How do you know your lawyer is well hung?

(When you can't fit two fingers between his neck and the rope.)
