PROFESSOR….
July 13th, 2005
A professor was conducting a class in decision making. In his
first drill, he picked a student from Georgia.
“Now son,” he said, “I want you to tell me the decision you’d
make in this situation. You’re driving a fully-loaded truck
down a mountain road at seventy miles an hour. Just as you
get close to an oncoming truck, two cars pull out from behind
him to pass. You hit the brakes and your brakes go out. On
your right side is a five-hundred foot cliff; on your left
side in a one-thousand food precipice. Now, son, you have
three seconds. What would you do?”
“Well,” the boy drawled, “I reckon I’d wake up Leroy.”
“Leroy!” the professor exclaimed. “Who’s Leroy?”
“Leroy’s my relief driver, sir. You see, he’s from a small
country town and I’d wanna wake him up ‘cause he ain’t never
seen an accident like this before.”
