Ok so this was a recent conversation I had with my sister on IM. She's trying to convince me having a cell phone can be the difference between life and death in a reasonable circumstance because my parents don't want to replace her broken phone:
Sister: you are driving on the road and your car spins out of control, it is upside down in a ditch and you cant get out without hurting yourself more, no one saw, it was on a back road... so you reach for your cell phone and its NOT THERE!!
Me: was the cell phone in my pocket?
Sister: does it make a diffrence?
Me:would i ask the question if it didnt?
Sister: okay wait.. evermind .. you just dont have a cell phone
Me:hehe ok
Me: that's a good one. gimme a sec
Sister: ok
Me: ok i'll give you that one. if you are driving late at night, the car spins out of control, it lands in a ditch in such a way so that you can't get out and by some twist of fate no one in the universe heard or saw the crash and you still have the function of your arms and legs to actually get to your cell phone, sure it could be a matter of life and death...
Sister: see
Sister: i win
Me: sure
Me: you win
Sister: hehe
Me: with that ridiculously unlikely, yet valid, example
