Scruples: Remember the game of Scruples, the game or moral dilemmas?  Without climbing into the attic to find my game, I pulled some sample questions from the 'net and will answer them now.

1. Your finance gives you a new video camera as a gift.  When you agree to break off the engagement you're asked to return the camera.  Do you?
If it was amicable, probably.  If it was nasty, it would depend.

2. Your spouse has become a nervous wreck since she began day trading on the internet.  But she made $10K in a month.  Do you make her stop?
Make her?  I never make her do anything.  I would definitely suggest that she stop for her the good of her mental health.

3. The teacher asks if you wrote your son's book report.  Your son claimed he did it but the teacher's right.  Do you admit it?
This is a dilemma.  First, I would never have written a book report for my child.  I hated them when I had to do them for myself, why would I torcher myself again?  So if I did write the book report, it would have been a report I wrote a long time ago, and I would admit I wrote it in whatever grade and the little s**t must have found it in the attic.

4. You've sold your house.  Before you move out, the roof starts to leak.  Do you have it fixed?
Depends.  If I paid for a one year home owners warranty, no - I'd let the home warranty take care of it and I would let the new owners know about the leak and to get it fixed ASAP.  If I didn't pay for the warranty, and assuming the roof was not in need of replacing in the first place and it's a relatively small fix, absolutely.

5. You e-mail your picture to a gorgeous person you met on the internet.  Do you mention that you gained thirty pounds since the picture was taken?
I would not specify thirty pounds, but may mention that I'm a bit heavier than I was then if it comes up in conversation.

6. A friend offers to hook you into pay-TV for $2.00.  He says the risk of being detected is slight.  Do you tune in?
Nah, I don't watch TV enough to be worth the risk.

7. There are no dryers available at the laundromat.  Suddenly one is free and you claim it.  A woman protests that she has been waiting longer than you.  Do you yield it?
What has become of my life that I am washing my clothes at a laundromat?  If I can't prove her wrong, yes.

8. Late one evening, your 19-year old daughter asks permission for her boyfriend to stay over.  Do you give it?
Certainly, but he's in the guest room or on the couch, and I'm sleeping in front of her door!

9. You come across your mate's personal address book.  Do you glance through it?
Now?  No.  Twenty years ago?  Probably.  If I needs someone's address or phone number, definitely.

10. After your guests leave, you discover a dollar in change on the sofa where one was sitting.  Do you make a point of returning it.
If I'm going to see them relatively soon, yes.  Otherwise it goes in my coin jar.

11. You make long distance calls as part of your work for a middle-size firm.  Do you make private calls if you know they cannot be traced?
Only if I know they'll be short.

12. You are driving alone on a highway at night.  A desperate looking person tries to flag you down.  Do you stop?
They would really have to look desperate, like if I don't pick them up, the killer will be back to get them kind of desperate.

13. A door to door salesman comes by.  He looks a little worse for wear.  There is nothing you want.  Do you buy something out of sympathy?
No
