Comedy of errors: a situation made amusing by bungling and incompetence.
Types: Physical, Verbal, Social or any combination
Physical: slapstick comedy (the 3 Stooges) being the cause
Verbal: miscommunication directly being the cause
Social: misinterpreting a relationship being the cause
Challenge: Construct a detailed scene/short story highlighting a "comedy of errors". Story/scene should be complete in and of itself. The comedy of errors should be the entire focus of the scene/story not just a by-product.
