Fail
My father was a pastor, and he often quoted scripture as saying “Rejoice not in another’s tribulation.” My interpretation is that means “don’t laugh at someone who is already down.” Good advice, and good psychology, but not always easy to heed. The sad fact is – it’s often funny, sometimes very funny, when people screw up. The websites devoted to “fails,” “dumbest criminals,” and “Darwin awards” are pretty riotous stuff. Having said that, I hope I never make any of those websites or lists. We all do stupid stuff, and I have committed some real doozies. Fortunately, no one was there to record the event. So, we live to give it another try. Life is good!
