If you had a gas leak in your house, could you get to the meter

If I had a bad gas leak, I'd leave the house and call 911 from a safe

Ok, English is my second language - I was going for the idiomatic "bad

Han my friend, if you didn't grow up speaking English, you sure do a lot
better with it than many of those who have. ^_^

Yeah, I'll do a +1 on that, too. I was going for the humor, Han--
Your usage was perfect, it is just one of those English 'funny'
things.
