    That was my first thought. Actually.... My first thought was that there must have been 4 people at the bus stop actually. I`d still give my keys to my friend and let him take the old lady to the hospital (after he signs a waiver releasing me from liability if he were to wrap my `````in camaro around a tree and also agreeing to total responisbility if anything else happens to the car) and then I`d hang out at the bus stop with the ladies of my dreams. :naughty. Lucky for me I always have a pup tent in the back of my car for such emergencies. That should protect us from the storm. :naughty Then when the bus finally shows up we`ll just chill at their place which just happens to be the playboy mansion. My buddy has my cell phone number and there is an extra 5 gallons of gas in the trunk in case he gets lost and can`t find the hospital before he runs out of gas. Fortunately he is well versed in life saving tactics, seeing how he saved my life and all. So if that old lady should stop breathing I trust that my boy scout of a friend would be able to save her.

    ......I need a vacation. I think I`m reading too much into stuff.

    Yeah, that`s where the term "double ugly" came from.

    the lady is old why would you want to save her, her time is up. An old friend and I would have sex with the perfect partner.
    Drive together away.

    Well, thinking outside the box, for some guy that is really old, maybe it would be the old lady that would be the perfect partner he was dreaming about. Sad I know, but certainly possible.

    On the other hand, if you stop, the guy that saved your life may have his eye on the babe and, seeing you as competition, he might just kick yer butt regretting the fact that he saved your life and take the babe for himself.

    Worse yet, could be that the babe is the guy`s sister and the old lady is their mother. He`d probably kick yer butt, take yer car and the three of them would leave you stranded there while they took their mother to the hospital.

    Or maybe the babe would require you to give the old lady mouth-to-mouth right there on the spot. No way she`s going to be kissing you anytime soon after that.

    The more I think outside the box, the uglier this scenario gets for me. I`d probably just drive on by.

    ok how about this ....

    give the old lady a blanket and umbrella, tell you friend who is great at saving people to stay and watch her, use you cell phone to call 911, then take the girl of your dreams, drive away and shout to your friend , " I owe you two now" :rolling
