I used to work in a paternity testing lab...typing up the reports of the tests. On my second or third day, I had a rather distraught man call me to ask a few questions about his report. He had been going through a custody case and the court had ordered the test just to ensure that everything was kosher. Both parties knew he was the father, yet the report said otherwhise. Long story short, I typed that he was 'Excluded' from being the father, rather than 'Not Excluded' (which is how it had to be worded).
Lucky he didn't sue...
