Trying Is Just the First Step Toward Failure

A police constable in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England, pulled over a car for a traffic violation. The driver handed over a license — showing the name of “Homer Simpson”. It was even more inaccurate than that: the license showed Homer lives at “28 Springfield Way” even though any fan of the cartoon series knows he lives at 742 Evergreen Terrace. “The driver’s car was seized and he was reported for driving with no insurance and driving without a proper licence,” police said on Facebook. “D’oh!” (RC/Wolverhampton Express & Star) ...The way Homer drives, he was doomed either way.
