By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I was singing the National Anthem at a school game and totally forgot the words. So I kept singing the same two lines over and over. FML

You'd think if you're in charge of singing the anthem you'd have brushed up on it first... However if you were just in the crowd no big deal.

OK so what is the whole athem(sp?) without Googling it? That's for those high and mightys that said we should know it. I don't. All i can think is, oh say can you see by the dawns early light(?) , uh star spankled banner let wave(?),the rockets something or other, and the home of the brave.

Oh, please. All people remember of that stupid song is: "Oh say can you see... BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH the light? What so proudly BLAH BLAH BLAH, BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH" Anyway...

So, two hours later the crowd is yelling, "Yes, we can see by the dawn's early light! Shut the **** up!" You should have just broken into a chorus or two of "Y. M. C. A." Always a fun way to fix an awkward situation.

Good lord people. Everyone has a brain fart from time to time. She most likely had a bit of stage fright. F her L for that day but this is not an unpardonable sin, nor does it make her unpatriotic.
