One time, I was dining with a certain someone who shall not be named at a certain restaurant that shall not be named as well. We finished a great meal and were walking to the car when I noticed something out of place. I couldn't believe what I saw, so I just started laughing. He looked down at his shoes saying, "What? What?" until finally he discovered the restaurant napkin still gracing his trousers. Ah, such is the risk we take when we fail to perform a final check.
In writing, checking over your paper before you submit it is crucial. Often times there are spelling errors or missing words or letters that your word processor will not catch. This should be your final check: read over your paper out loud word for word without letting your mind fill in any blanks; you must read exactly what is on the paper. This will ensure that you will be able to hand your papers in without the proverbial napkin on your pants.
p.s. If you ask us, we will tell you who the accidental napkin nabber is.
