Aha! Someone has been very prudent. Where one can fall in, surely two can, too. And now both can be saved...no need to make a difficult choice. It reminds me of a very short blues song, written by the late Steve Goodman. I hope that the humor survives translation.
My baby came to me this morning
She said "I'm sort of confused.
If me and B.B. King both were drowning,
Which one would you choose?"
and I said "Whoa....baby, I said Whoa....baby,
I said Whoa....baby, I ain't never heard you play the blues."
