I never had to cheat/plagiarize/copy homework in school. I never stole stuff either. How am I supposed to answer the ethical dilemma question? I could obviously BS an answer, but I'm sure the interviewer can tell right away that I'm BS-ing. So how would I best approach this question, if I'm asked?

You could tell them about the time that you had to decide whether or not to lie and BS an answer to this question.
If I was the interviewer this would definitely get a laugh out of me.
This approach could work either really well or really bad, depends on the interviewer.
Talk about a time in which someone else tried to cheat/lie/copy/steal and the actions you took.
Talk about how some of your classmates asked you to review their resume and help with technical questions. Walk the interviewer through how you were torn between friendship and feeding them misinformation / bad advice in an effort to gain an edge in the recruiting process. In the end, you helped them out because the bonds of friendship were stronger than the benjamins, bitches, and coke.
forget the classmate angle - making something up that would be related to your work experiences.
Do you have any friends or acquaintances who have done any of the things you mentioned? If so, you could describe an episode in which your friend was engaging in one of the above mentioned activities, and how you struggled to confront them about it (Loyalty to friend vs. "Doing the right thing").

Tell me about an ethical dilemma you've faced recently?
a guy once asked me to give him answers, which he would then use in an interview, passing them off as his own.
damn jimbo, hahahahaha
I once farted in a team room, someone asked who did it.
