Topic: A question of morality . . . . .

Hypothetically speaking . . .


Let's say I have this female friend.

Let's say that she was given a bottle of Johnnie Walker BLUE label by a girlfriend of her's that owns a bar for her birthday.

Let's say that my friend with the wonderful bottle of scotch is completely CLUELESS about booze and doesn't know it from a bottle of MD 20/20.

Let's say  . . . I happened to see it and said "Ooooooooooo scotch"

Let's say she said "Oh that.  It's just scotch, go ahead and take it."


Well then . . . hypothetically speaking . . . am I under any duty to tell her that's a $250.00 bottle of first class booze before I happily grab it, throw it in my car, and leave a good 50 feet of smelly burnt rubber in front of her house?

considering your name is J'inn, not scotch, you should return it to her, as that is considered steeling 

In all honesty, Well AFTER you have taken it, you should tell her, unless you plan on sleeping with her in the near future, because if you plan that, you should tell her FIRST.(she may appreciate your candor at this point, and still give it to you).  Either way, your gain.

Please

Take the bottle
then
If you're planning on sleeping with her-
 work it into casual conversation or wait til she finds out.
Tell her you assume she knew- by way of apology take her out etc etc.

If you're not planning on sleeping with her
Who cares? You're up a good bottle.

A "duty" to do so?  For Heaven's sake ... No.  HOWEVER.  If there is ever a desire for you to become friendlier with your friend.  Then I definitely wouldn't take it.  Eventually, she will learn the truth (they all do ... the {censored}).

Bang her first, then take the Scotch.

I can't believe this is even a question. 

[TheJudge]

To not take it would be a sin.

Hoi J'inn,

 I'm looking at what is posted here and I am shocked! You, young man, march, drive...squeel, or whatever it is you do, right back there and give it back.

I think you should pm her mailing address so I can write a letter on your behalf, you know explaning how you have been playing EVE of late and you are not really yourself.

Now if you will excuse me I have to run off and draft a product recall memo.

Take care...to keep valuables under lock and key

She offered it. Unless it's a test....

My suggestion: Get a bottle of cheap Canadian scotch and pour that into the bottle, return it to her, telling her that it's too valuable to just give away, after you've saved the real scotch in your own bottle.

Morality?

you are a LAWYER 

[Corbomite]

You should ask her who her friend is so you can take it back and ask him who the hell he thinks he is trying to pawn off that blended p00p on her and demand a good single malt.

 she was given a bottle of Johnnie Walker BLUE label by a girlfriend of her's that owns a bar for her birthday.

A real friend or a competent bar owner would have given her an Islay instead, Johnny Blue....come on, sure it is expensive but it taste like piss compared to a Lagavulin of similar price, and I'd take a bottle of Lagavulin 16 over it anyday.

So that in mind, tell her to take the bottle and sell it, or sell it for her and buy a nice Islay for yourself and a nice bottle of something she likes for herself and everyone wins.

[[KBF]MuadDib]

what does the woman who gave her the scotch have to do with all this?

she wantin part of that banging action youre gettin on about?

the possibilities...are endless

Three cheers and a +1 for Corbo.  (and another for Chuut, just one post later)

I don't care what color the label is.  It's still blended.

Yeah, what kinda freaking ambulance chaser ARE you, anyhow?

BTW, Diehards advice is the best so far.

[KBF-Angel Slayer]

Go ahead and keep it.  No worries, since SR already has your testes in a vault somewhere, thus, there is nothing this girl could come after.
   Besides, if you can't screw friends over, who can you screw over?

GENIUS!!

OUCH!!!   Man does that load of truth hurt.   <sniff>

[KBF-Angel Slayer]

Come on, J'inn, two cats' eye marbles, a little duct tape, no one could tell the difference.     (+1 for having a good sense of humor)

[FPF-Paladin]

You mean you still have this to drink, or you've already drank it and need a good excuse?







Personally, if you didn't already drink it you've probably already answered your own question, id boy
