Sometimes it’s so funny when things go wrong. Not when it’s at our expense. Like that time in ninth grade when we were carrying a tray of chili cheese fries, trying to find a place to sit, knowing that you couldn’t sit with the cool kids, but hoping that you wouldn’t have to sit with the band geeks. Then you trip over a stray blueberry muffin that somebody had dropped on the ground and boom. The chili cheese fries were all over your new Ralph Lauren polo. 

Just a scenario that I’ve heard of. It may be funny to look back on…. in fact you tell that story on every first day you’ve ever gone on to endear yourself to people. But it wasn’t funny at the time. No, it was far from funny. It was mortifying. Perhaps the people responsible for these images feel that way. The minute they knew that they messed up it wasn’t funny.
