If you can’t laugh, you’re gonna cry.

Have you ever heard that expression before? Sure, you have!

And I happen to think it was invented for times like these when folks make very expensive mistakes and have to just cut their losses and shake their heads.

Hey, we all make mistakes sometimes. It’s called “human error”…but I sincerely hope that you (and me) never experience the kinds of pricey fails that these folks did.

Let’s take a look at the evidence.

1. Who can we blame for this one?

Okay, we’re gonna need all hands on deck.
