“Did I do that?”
That was the catchphrase of Steve Urkel, the Family Matters character who stole the show with his ridiculously over-the-top portrayal of an accident-prone nerd.
Did he do that? You bet he did, over and over again, never learning from his mistakes.
If Urkel had been a real-live person with not much intellect and few discernible skills, he would have run for political office and spent the rest of his life messing things up for his constituents – and proposing solutions that would only make matters worse.
2020 would have been a banner year for Urkel. He’d have known instinctively just how to take an ordinary annual flu and turn it into a plague of biblical proportions, all the while proposing outrageously irrational remedial measures that could only prolong and exacerbate the situation: face masks, social distancing, lockdowns, etc.
