As you know this kind of lapse does not only befall petty bureaucrats. Even major politicians have suffered lapses of this kind. Consider the story of this aspiring politician. This man does not feel tainted by stupidity. He is going to run for mayor.

Hello, my name is Gunter Hesse and I would like to announce that last night at 1:18 a.m. my wife gave birth to the Devil. Before killing him with a hoe handle I got a picture. I'm sure this was the first picture of the Devil in history. I accept your thanks and admiration. Unfortunately, I forgot to remove the lens cap on my camera so I don't actually have a picture to show you.
Angry crowd noises . . .
Ok, look; it could have happened to anyone. I just forgot to take off the stupid lens cap is all. Could have happened to anyone. How about a little love and a little credit here. How many of you have taken a picture of the Devil as it came out of your wife's body? I plan to run for mayor of Manheim.
