What Would You Do?

My wife and I met on the Internet. She lived here in the USA, while I lived in the UK.

Now as you can probably imagine, small talk doesn't really last for 5 years (The amount of time before I moved to the USA). We talked either on-line or the phone nearly every day.

So just for something to talk about, we'd do thinks like ask each other the survey questions from magazines, come up with 'What if?" and "What would you do?" questions. You know the type. Like, "You know you're best friend's boyfriend/girlfriend is cheating on them, do you tell your friend?" or "You best friend's partner hits on you, how do you handle it?"

I like these types of questions, so I'm going to ask you all one...inspired by something I read on a Blog today.

Here it is.

Your friend moves into a new house, and recruits you to help with some yard work. You're digging away and find a huge diamond ring. The diamond is so big, it's worth at least $10,000.

What do you do? Do you:

a) Tell your friend about the ring. It's on their property, and therefore their's.

b) Tell your friend, and expect him to sell it and share it with you?

c) Tell your friend, but keep it. You found it, and it's finders keepers?

d) Slip it in your pocket, and 'find' it at your own home a few days later?

One more question:

Your friend buys a new car. One drunken night at their house, you head for home, stumble, and manage to put a nice long deep scratch in the side of it...as well as a nice big dent.

Do you:

a) Keep quiet and act sympathetic when they tell you about it.

b) Come clean and pay for the damage?

Before I go, a quick reminder that my story competition has less than a week left to run, so get those stories in!
