How NOT to be invited back to sign the national anthem
Oh, my Lord this is the funniest thing I’ve seen in weeks!
Michael Hampton, who alerted me to this, asked if I thought this guy was nervous, stupid, or drunk. I chose ‘nervous.’ I feel so badly for this guy, because it appears to me that he was deathly afraid of screwing up the national anthem, then proceeded to fulfill his worst nightmare.

I have to agree with you, Charles. I’ve been asked to sing the Anthem at a few events and, no matter how many times I do it, I always keep the words in hand … just in case. I think this officer was looking for his lyrics sheet, couldn’t find it, and decided to punt.
What an awful way to spend one’s 15 minutes of fame.
