Which is better?

Is it better to be happy, or to be right?

Silly Q.
When you're right, you're happy.

I don't know about that, I've been right and it didn't make me happy but I've also been wrong and it made me happy...

If we're talkin' women, then it's best to be wrong so that you can win.

Another option is to be really really really happy because you just don't care.
