From "The Book of Questions" by Gregory Stock, PH.D
Q #88
You, your closest friend, and your father are on vacation together, hiking in a remote jungle. Your two companions stumble into a nest of poisonous vipers and are bitten repeatedly. You know neither will live without an immediate shot of anti-venom, yet there is only a single dose of anti-venom and it is in your pocket.
What would you do?
PS .... I have always hated this question ....

Hey buddy, you've been a great friend and I'll tell your family that you did not suffer. It is a lie, but that is what friends are for. I told you to pack your own shot!
Dad, I'm glad Mom taught me how to survive in the jungle. We increased your life insurance to a cool 2 million before we started this adventure so we will be taken care of financially. By the way, you should have checked your first aid kit before we left home.
Y'all have fun! I'm outta here with my anti-venom!
Note to self: Don't go into jungle with wife.
Patr is mean!! Watch your back PEF!
I would give each one half of the shot and hope they can each survive.
Half a chance is better than no chance.
What Tom (rant master) said.
None of this 'lone ranger' sucking the venom out? Man, There's only one vile and I have it. I think I'll keep it for when I get bit trying to get out of the friggin jungle.
Hi CinCin and Tom. I'm not answering your stinkin'question but wanted to say hello from Edinburgh. Day 4 of the big adventure and we're loving it!!
PS - I'm with patr and ren. Why should I have to be responsible for adults who should have been prepared. Now a child or pet - that's differnt.

TRAVELING IS WONDERFUL...HOWEVER I'LL NEVER VENTURE INTO A JUNGLE EVER! I DON'T DO JUNGLES!I'M WITH T4....HEHE

not a doubt... close friend. Father has had a long life (and currently not speaking to me which makes it an easy question for me)
Okay, 1. You will NEVER catch me in a jungle...too many bugs.
2. My dad? Hiking? Surely you jest. 3. My friends? Hiking without beer? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahaha
Did I say, hahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahaha.
I keep my meds to myself. My dad has insurance. My friends would laugh in my face if I even suggested a hike.
Okay .... which one of my smart-ass friends is in the jungle with me?
I tend to agree with Totsie ... no BEER, no Jungle!!
And if I were to take this question seriously, I would have to agree with Rant's answer ... give each half and pray for the best ....
