Game: What's your best Excuse?

[sdr4jc]

Okay, guys (and girls) lets have your best excuses. For anything and everything!

I can't drive in ice. :lol:

[Wirhe]

"Sorry, but I'm busy at work/school/home/bed/whatever." Works 99% of time.

[Virgil]

Sorry, my computer deleted my term paper.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

I can't come in to work because I fell asleep on the bus on the way there and woke up 150 miles away.

And this one happened! :nod:

Yeah, don't you hate that, unfortunately it only happens to me on my way home.

As for excuses, this one seems to work to a degree:
"Hey, I was gonna go along with this, but now that I know you really want it, I'll just move along."
Several variations on this theme exist, depending on the circumstances, but it usually involves twisting words.

How about this one:

"Listen, bud, my dad ain't afraid to go back to jail."

How about this one:

"Listen, bud, my dad ain't afraid to go back to jail."

It works better when you refer to yourself.

[Petrarch's Love]

My bird ate my homework (he really does eat paper, but he's never devoured an assignment :D ).

[rachel]

Sorry, but I was head injured. And that is the truth. people either give me a dirty look and tell me i am a disgrace for making that up or they then treat me as if i just came out of intensive care and still don't know my name. (the head injuries were severe and to this day I don't know how to do some of the stuff I did before.)

Xamonas, that is hysterically funny!. That has never happened to me but once when I was complaining of having to work at the hospital any longer and I was tired of these two guys showing up at my apartment every day (we had nothing in common, nothing) well my cousin showed up at midnight and decided to move me from Alberta to B.C where I now live. He, a friend, my roommate and I packed a few things and away we went. It got so cold at one point and we stopped for gas and asked the attendant if he knew any places to eat at night. We were headed for a city in southern bc. he smiled and said" so you're going to Alaska eh, nice up there.
we nearly died. we had gone totally the wrong way, read the map incorrectly
It took hours to get back to where we left off.

[Scheherazade]

the local library is 20 kilometers away.:D

[AimusSage]

Well, it is... :rolleyes:

[papayahed]

HaHa. My ex boos put up a cartoon in my office that read:

Boss: Why aren't you working?
Worker: I didn't see you coming.

[papayahed]

My favorite one at my current job:

I dunno, that was put together before I got here, but I'll check into it.

[Pensive]

After all, I am not a machine. I can't do so much work!

(That's the best excuse I can come up with)

[Virgil]

I've made a mental list to get to it. It's high on the list.
