that reminds me of that one episode of Scarecrow and Mrs. King in which there was an Evil Mrs. King, and Scarecrow could only save one of them from losing their grip and plunging to their death, or at least crumplement... he knew which hand to grab because the real Mrs. King expressed her dismay at the situation by saying "Oh my gosh!" or something along those lines.
