88 Not Always Right Puns That Prove You Can Be Wrong and Still Funny

Contrary to popular belief, sometimes the best thing about getting it wrong is the non-stop laughing that follows. Yes, we are embracing not always being right but having a blast with it in the wittiest way possible!

Did you know the phrase “Not Always Right” might have an unexpected connection to royalty! In Medieval times, the concept of the “Divine Right of Kings” was a prevalent belief. 

This idea suggested that Kings were divinely chosen by God and therefore could never be wrong in their decisions. “Not Always Right” could be seen as a playful subversion of this concept, hinting that even Kings might make mistakes!

Now let’s dive into our collection of amusing puns that celebrate the art of being hilariously off the mark.
