I don't know why so many people were offended by my remark. If I had known they would be, I would have said 'crying in a helicopter' instead of a BMW.
I believe the speaker should have said 'would have been offended' to be consistent with 'had known'. I think without 'offended' the phrase is wrong. Am I correct?
Thanks in advance.
