Looks good on paper.......

Here I go, being cryptic again. :)

You've heard the term......

....a sports team trades for and signs free agents, trying to create the "best team money can buy". Then you look at their line-up, and say, "On paper, there's nobody who can beat these guys!"

Inevitably, some team that did not merit a piece of paper and investigation would come along and expose the dream team's fatal flaw, proving again that what looks best "on paper" isn't always the winner, and doesn't always translate to the reality of life.

This analogy can also be placed in human relationships, too. Family, spouse, parent, college buddies, neighbors, friends since childhood, doesn't matter. The analogy can work. Ponder this awhile; comment if you think any of this makes sense.
