So, all those folks... etc

Good thing that had their cell phones. They saved their lives, didn't they?! What multinational corporation do we all owe thanks?

They saved their lives, didn't they?!

I believe that answer to that would be "yes." Next question.

What multinational corporation do we all owe thanks?

Verizon, for one. I'm sure there are others.

I realize you are trying to be funny, but I doubt that any of the family members who heard their loved ones in those last seconds of their lives would find your comments very amusing.

Oh, did you mean "Did every single person with a cell-phone survive"? Well, you certainly got me there. No, they didn't, just some.

Course, not everyone with a gun survives an assault. Guess we always have to weigh costs and benefits. I'm sure there is a multinational gun corporation out there somewhere that deserves some thanks.
