The Test

Morality - The man didn't do anything wrong so he is the best of the bunch.

Sex - The other man was just trying to get some and without his help the woman wouldn't have been able to buy a ticket. But he's lower because he mowed another man's lawn.

Business - The boatman was just trying to make a buck but he's slightly lower than the guy who paid the lady because he was price gowging the lady.

Friendship - Some of these are labeled poorly. How is the person who told a friend? She is a squealer/rat/tattletale and friends don't do that. She's lower than the boatman for that.

Love - This is a double misnomer because she's not a lady and people that love you don't sleep with others. The lady is the lowest of the group because she's a cheater.

I knew Radar could be counted on to get it mostly wrong. The guy left this girl because she was so desparate to be with him that she slept with another man to do so. That's bad right there.

The boatman was price gouging but do you really expect him to let her cross for free? Even if he'd charged normal price she'd not have had the money.

Yeah, the lady cheated. But it's not as if she had a _good_ choice in the scenario presented. The lowest for that? Hardly.

If the customer knew the situation, he's easily the lowest, for taking advantage of a desperate woman.
