A hand-drawn line graph. The vertical (y) axis is labeled "How likely a person is to give you unsolicited advice about something." The horizontal (x) axis is labeled "How completely he's failed at it." A red curve sweeps upward from the origin, growing steeper as it rises to the right and ending in an arrowhead at the top, showing that the more thoroughly someone has failed at a thing, the more eager they are to advise you about it. The votey (bonus panel) is a single quoted line: "You shouldn't be so nice to your wife. Trust me, I've been divorced 17 times." — a perfect example of the graph's point.
