What's your excuse?

The fog made me do it.

And the beer. The beer might have had something to do with it, too.

But I'm pretty sure it was mostly the fog.

It was like that when I got here. Plus, you know - shoddy workmanship. Nobody takes pride in a job well done these days; you look at one of those things wrong and they break.

Peanut butter love too much.
Often blinded by it.
Sometimes figuratively, sometimes literally.

I didn't understand the assignment. Or I don't care. Pick one.

I never got the voice mail. Or the email. I was out of the office the day the guy came with the fedex and that's not my signature.

Life is inherently meaningless and futile anyway.

I'm sorry, I really don't have any excuses. I'll do better next time.

Popcorn. I'm such a sucker for popcorn.

I was mad.

Didn't get enough sleep, woke up with eyed wide open at 7 am which is too damned early. I have a plan for this not to recur.

I only meant to have one shot. And a beer. Seriously, I don't know what happened, or who you are, but just let me get my boxers out of the freezer and I'll be on my way.

Holy crap, mgl works in our home office? She must, because I totally overheard someone say exactly those lines...

I'm not bad; I'm just drawn that way.

Or it's more modern version:
It's not that it's my fault; it's just my style.

I blame society.

He was looking at me funny.

We never use that thing anyway.

No one saw it, nobody can prove anything.

I told you I was lazy and incompetent, but you just wouldn't listen.

It was performance art.

My pump broke and I haven't got running water.

(Actually used this morning to avoid going to work.)

It was just one of those things.

And the sex was great.

The camel died on the second day out, and we were out of pickles. Then I had to wash my hair.

You see, I was looking for Dr. Evil when the Fembots came out and smoke started coming out of their jomblies. So I started to work my mojo, to counter their mojo; we got cross-mojulation, and their heads started exploding.

Excuse?! I don't need to give you an excuse! I did it because I wanted to and there's nothing you can do about it!
