Well, Duh.

Ever do something that seems like a good idea at the time, but ensuing events prove otherwise?

Put liquid dish soap in the dishwasher once.

Seemed like a good idea at the time.

The resultant flood proved otherwise.

Thought red wine might be a nice addition to Christmas dinner.

Wiped everyone out with a red wine headache.

Seemed like a good idea at the time.

Ran all around the house with the brand new carbon monoxide testing device. Said to Husband Dearest, “This thing doesn’t work. I can’t get a reading.”

He said, “Good.”

Um, right.

Went out to the garage. Started the car. Waved said testing device under the tailpipe. CO detector shrieked with alarm. Flashed the message, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!

Seemed like a good idea at the time.
