I was trying to think of someone who had a reputation for always tripping up, getting things wrong, etc, and the only name that popped into my head was Gerald Ford. Over here, at least, I seem to remember there was a running joke that he was always making mistakes - both verbally and physically.
Does this mean anything at all to the Americans in our audience? There's not much point in using the reference if it doesn't have any resonance over there across the pond.
Anyone got any alternatives if I'm wrong?
