Write down your own scenario that includes the above statement.

You are walking to the corner store, suddenly everything becomes pure white... Then you see Buddha sitting in the void, and he says "Despite our best efforts, something unexpected has gone wrong."

:D

Watching the extremely delicate surgery, the group of us were suddenly shocked to see a fountain of red spurt from chest of the victim. The senior doctor turned to us and said, "despite our best efforts, something unexpected has gone wrong."




The head of the purchasing department grinned as the last sealed bid was handed forth. He had been negotiating quietly with Gatepath for months behind everyone's back and was expecting to profit nicely from this new contract with the County. The last bid was opened, but much to his horror, InHell had underbid Gatepath. He grabbed the phone, dialed his contact, and explained "despite our best efforts, something unexpected has gone wrong."

In mid-flight on a plane..... You make up the story. Either way, it'll be bad.

Trying to dial a stargate home while the Goa'uld advance on your position, and instead of the familiar Swirly Vortex Of Doom the ring fills with a blue mist and the words "Despite our best efforts, something unexpected has gone wrong." appears.

A male-trans-female had been waiting her whole life to have her genitalia altered, and groggily awakened to find a very concerned nurse by her bed. She looked down and there was something massive, bulbous, and moving between her legs under the blankets, making the sheets bubble up as if liquid. The nurse turned to her and said, "Despite our best efforts, something unexpected has gone wrong."

Thier best efforts? Best efforts would be hiring beta testers, and doing something about griefers.

I contacted live help about a griefer yesterday, they did nothing. Just told me to file and AR. Looking at the police blotter it is clear they ignore a large majority of the AR's filed.

The Florida votes were still being counted when the messenger entered Al Gore's campaign headquarters bringing news of the Supreme Court's ruling.

As he crawled to the top of the hill, trailing blood from a bullet wound in his chest, George Armstrong Custer took a look back at the battle raging below. The warriors of the Five Tribes were scalping those of his men who were still alive. He was astonished at the sheer numbers of the Indians. He had thought he was attacking several hundred, but there were thousands of them. Remembering that his orders were not to attack, but to wait for the infantry columns to catch up, he scrawled a note to his commanding officer: "Despite our best efforts, something unexpected has gone wrong."

Dressed In Black Fatigues he calmly removes the cover of the metallic cylinder.. Above them, the Joint Session of Congress listened to the Presidents Address.. Totally unaware of the threat they face. He turns to his Partner and takes the snippers from his hand... Reaching past the universal Radiation Warning Symbol he places the jaws of his tool around the RED WIRE... Years of Training gives him the confidence to KNOW - THIS IS THE CORRECT WIRE....

"SNIP"

The Timer Begins to move.. 5.. 4.. He turns to his partner and Says Matter of Factly..

The secretary of the military branch came running into the president KIM Jong Il's office, carrying the latest news about the missile testing;
"Despite our best efforts, something unexpected has gone wrong."

Those were his last words... he was later found attached to one of said missiles...
