If at first you don't succeed

..maybe skydiving isn't for you.

However, if at first you don't succeed when taking the written part of the driver's exam, how about another 770 tries?

This is the story of a 68-year old Korean woman called "Cha" who, back in 2005, decided she should get a driver's license. She failed the written exam. Tried again. Failed. Tried anew. Failed yet again. Tried an additional 768 times. Failed each and every one of them. It must be said, an achievement in its own right.

However, sometimes there are subtle hints that certain activities might not be for you. For example, Gordon Brown - the Droopy of politics - might not make a great lingerie model considering nature gave him the face of a scrotum and the body of a sack of potatoes. Failing a test close to 800 times is a hint as subtle as an exploding grenade in a China store.

Just give it up already and hire a chauffeur.
