What a surprise that people insane enough to pop breakers like that have a
bizarre kind of mutual respect. You two could easily be the inspiration for
the movie "Dumb and Dumber." As someone else noted you could have very well
burned down the church with your ill-advised shortcut.

FWIW, nowadays, "people" is almost always the right choice when you are
talking about more than one person. Some dictionaries don't even include
"persons" as the plural of "person" anymore, and the few dictionaries that
do include "persons" note that it is uncommon, archaic, or going out of
style.
