OK, I admit it, I enjoy it when a pundit sticks his foot in his mouth and ends up with egg on his face—even if I have to wait a whole year for it to happen. It helps me put my own goofs in perspective. Here, courtesy of Business Week, are my favorites ordered my way, but including their BW rankings.

12 “But [it] is very likely that oil prices will range in the medium term around an average of $40…. In the long run it could even be $25 to $30.”

LORD BROWNE, CEO, BP, June 12, 2006. Oil prices averaged $70-plus a barrel in 2007.

5 “We do notexpect significant spillovers from the subprime market to the rest of the economy or to the financial system.”

BEN BERNANKE, Federal Reserve Chairman, Might 17, 2007. A global credit crunch began three months later.

3 “The media’s great love affair with the Nintendo Wii is beginning to sour…. There are whispers that the device is tiring and gimmicky.”

TYLER TODD, video-game columnist, The Gazette (Montreal), Oct. 14, 2006. Press reviews stayed positive in 2007, and buyers stood in line for the console for the second year in a row.

4 “AMZN is a stock that continues to live on borrowed time.”

TIM BOYD, Caris & Co. analyst in a report about the stock of Amazon.com on Oct. 26, 2006, when the company’s shares were at 38.50. On Dec. 17, 2007, Amazon shares were trading at 85.09.

9 “The steady improvement in [home] sales will support price appreciation…[despite]…all the wild projections by academics, Wall Street analysts, and others in the media.”

DAVID LEREAH, chief economist, National Association of Realtors, Jan. 10, 2007. Housing prices steadily worsened, falling even farther than many skeptics had predicted.

Now look at what you predicted that didn’t come true. Isn’t it great? There’s no way any of us got our feet further into our mouths than these guys.

What’s your favorite foot-in-mouth experience?

Not sure who to vote for? Wondering who to promote? Trying to evaluate the best candidate for CEO? It’s simple to select, just vote/promote/hire the best jaw line.

A strong chin, that Hollywood staple, may also be a plus for aspiring CEOs. That’s the conclusion of New York plastic surgeon Darrick Antell, who presented his highly anecdotal evidence at the recent 2007 World Congress on Liposuction Surgery and Advances in Cosmetic Surgery in Dubai. Antell drew a line from the nose tip to the chin on photos of 42 CEOs from 2005’s top 50 Fortune 500 companies. Some 90% (including Carly Fiorina, then Hewlett-Packard’s CEO) showed nonreceding-to-prominent chins, vs. 40% of the U.S. population. People equate such jawlines with confidence and character, says Antell, who performed 20 chin augmentations in 2007. (Topping out at $7,500, the surgery’s a bargain compared with, say, a $92,000 MBA from Harvard.) Some dynamos have “deficient” chins, Antell admits. But most are entrepreneurs. When it’s time to pick a top manager, the one with the Superman jaw gets the job.

So now you know how to make that all important voting/promoting/hiring decision. And, for those not yet at those lofty levels the choice is clearer still—start a company or get a chin augmentation.

Whose chin would you vote for or like to hire?
