It reminds me of the old Lone Ranger joke where he and Tonto are being chased by thousands of angry Indians. He and Tonto ride into a canyon only to find they are trapped and now face imminent doom. The Lone Ranger turns to Tonto and says "Well, Tonto we've faced some tight spots before, old friend, but I don't see how we're going to get out of this one." To which Tonto responds "What do you mean 'we', white man?"
Exactly.
lol
My father used to tell that joke and it certainly fits this situation.
