Abby Li's Dad

For almost six years (1996 to 2002), I sent out a weekly email to my friends. This blog serves as an archive for those emails. The entries starting in May 2006 are my personal reflections on life as a father to Abby, a husband to Melissa, and everything else.

Not Quite Humor

Hi everyone,

I hope of you had a great weekend. For those of you in the
Northeast, please remember to RSVP by Wednesday to the dinner party I'm
having this
Saturday, if you haven't already.

Thanks again to Joy Ku for the following interesting, interactive
email. Feel free to write and tell me whether you thought that the
conclusions it draws about you are correct. Did you agree with the
scenario posed by the email?

Take care and keep in touch! -Josh.

An interactive email. Kind of interesting-don't cheat!!!

A man (M) and a lady (L) who are very much in love, and devoted to one
another, are separated by a river with no way of getting across to the
other side. On L's side of the river, there is a boatman (B) who is
able
to take her over to the other side of the river but refuses to do so
unless
she pays him a price of $20, twice his normal fare. L has no money.
Another
man (S) then tells L that he will give her $20 if she sleeps with him.
L
agrees to do so and on receiving the $20, pays B who takes her over to
the other
side of the river. She is reunited with M and they are very happy
together.

However, a friend of M (F) finds out what L did with S and immediately
tells M. On learning the news, M finds L and ends things with her,
stating
that he wants nothing more to do with her. Your task is to rank these
five
people, M, L, B, S, and F, from best to worst. i.e. best person to
worst person.

1)
2)
3)
4)
5)

Don't read any further until you've finished the 1-5. If you do, you'll

miss the whole point. When you do finish, scroll down and read on.

The order which you've ranked the five people is supposed to represent
the
importance that you place on different things in your life. 1 being the

most important, and 5 being the least. The letters stand for:
M-morality; S-sex; L-love; B-business; F-friends
