"if the phone wasnt working, how would i contact you"
carrier pigeon obviously, smoke signals wouldnt fuction properly after any kind of attack or fart from a butterfly. and then there are the logistics of keeping pigeons on person, or a smokesignal kit entrusted to a 5-yr-old.
seriously. if the phones are out, and you are seperated, there is quite little you can do to contact each other, save for meeting each other in person.
the thing i hate the most with this ad is that it only asks questions, it doesent help answer any of the questions this girl asks. the radio psa is a little better "make an emergency kit" (part of a radio psa with tom daschle).
