Come on... you've
never made a mistake before? You've never done anything that confused two similar but obviously different things? Me, I've accidentally called people by the wrong name, forgot a number, transposed a digit when copying things into a spreadsheet, and made quite a few mistakes along the way. But, I'm only human. Perhaps you are a Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 with an artificial neuron network and are therefore superior to humans.
Catch-22: if it's not important...
why post about it? I don't have the interest either, but when somebody whiffs a quote like that, I'm wanting to know... what were they thinking? That's the difference between us, I guess: you are too smart to give a shit, and I am too dumb to think she got the number correct.
Oh... right... it was
funny that she made a mistake, but you had no interest in the subject except to point it out and hold her up for ridicule. Hey, different strokes for different folks. [I think I can help you on this one... "jokes" and "funny stories" go in the
Et Cetera, Et Cetera forum.] Intentionally posting it in the Politics forum makes me think you weren't just laughing at it, you just wanted to make political statement about it.
Eye shadow: okay, 1 point to Gryffindor. Luckily, Congressional seats aren't doled out on looks.
... because only stupid and/or negligent people 'flub' a quote.
You're brutal -- hopefully you don't hold yourself to that same standard because the only way to avoid a similar flub is to become a professional deaf/mute.
