"In some cases your nearest exit may be behind you....?"
After a quite successful segment run today (6 segments on UA for $150 in less than 9 hours), I was struck (having heard it SIX TIMES) with the phrase given during the safety briefing, "In some cases your nearest exit may be behind you."

My last math course was sometime in Jr. High, but it strikes me that it would be more accurate to say "In exactly half the cases, your nearest exit will be behind you." Or maybe even more precisely, "Except for those of you sitting in exit rows, in half the cases your nearest exit will be behind you." Or maybe it depends on what "is" is.... Ok, fire away; like I said I'm mathematically challenged
