People Who Crucially Missed The Point

Has a joke ever gone over your head and made you feel worthless once you figured it? Don't worry—it happens to the best of us, and at an alarming rate. Not only do jokes do this, but signs, comments, and instructions can confuse people. Prepare yourself for a slew of people who really didn't get the point.

Whoever wrote this name for Marc probably hadn't had their cup of coffee yet.

When it's too early in the morning, your brain doesn't work the same. Still, this isn't what "Mark with a C" should result in.
