People confuse the subject of the joke with the target of the joke, and they're very rarely the same.
Ricky Gervais
Image
When you are dead, you do not know you are dead. It's only painful and difficult for others. The same applies when you are stupid.

Most people sitting at home aren't cool, successful, witty Hollywood stars, but they all worry about what people think of them when they faux pas.
