Pre-emptive sorries are a great way to foster mistrust – saying the word “sorry” is meant to be an act of contrition, so throwing them out to excuse stuff that you are planning on doing… well you get the idea. Maybe 51-year-old Robert Norton Kennedy should have thought about that before he tattooing the following disclaimer on his forehead: “WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE GOD LOVES YOU, Please forgive me if I say or do anything stupid, Thank You!”
Apparently, his neighbors were tired of forgiving him for playing loud music and called the police to complain. Authorites arrived to find Kennedy spitting on them. Sadly, for Kennedy, the tattoo didn’t make everything better – but considering the unrepentant smirk on his face in the mug shot, we are guessing that he didn’t mean it anyway.
