Let's Just Pretend We Didn't Say That

Sometimes, our lives feel embarrassingly awkward in spite of using that one attribute that defines and separates us from all other species. We are granted higher-order reasoning yet words are often the first reason we speak. Opportunities to stack misunderstandings and make social gaffes happen almost every time we open our mouths. This surprising misadventure is chronicled throughout this book and reveals that we are all terrible human beings, and we will do most anything to look the other way. Missteps are innate and will be as long as we use our words.
