Everybody Always Gets Everything Wrong
That's where comedy comes from
I can almost guarantee this will make you laugh. People getting things wrong, is, in a sense, our only real problem. Only my father could wind up in a situation this preposterous, but it’s all true!
From Cocktails With Molotov: An Odyssey of Unlikely Detours,

(I dedicate this post to two friends who get things right, (and then some:) Steve Stars and Jon Rappoport.)
Feel free to share stories of people getting things wrong, in the comments section.
