13 Lame Excuses
1) Yeah, I heard it too; I think it was the dog.
2) Blinker? What blinker?
3) You never actually used the word “loan”.
4) Somebody must have left it here by mistake.
5) Sorry; your phone keeps cutting out.
6) Yeah, I can smell it too; I think it’s the dog.
7) It was like that when I got here.
8) I didn’t say I read the directions; I said I saw them.
9) The Post Office must have lost it.
10) It should have been deposited automatically.
11) No one told me not to.
12) No, seriously; I think it was the dog.
13) But the guy at the store said these are just as good.

these are funny, ron. #11 opens up the doors of possibilities and #8 is just hysterical…
Huh. I think I’ve heard most of these and there are a couple I think I’ve used.

The check’s in the mail! I haven’t used that one but have had it used on me.
I’ve heard number 13 more times than I care to recall. And the guy at the store is NEVER right.
It must have broken itself. My SO tells me that one all the time.
Y’know I think #8 is my new favorite. Although #12 would be a great running joke especially considering we don’t have a dog.
Love number eight. BTW — just because I read no actual books of poetry doesn’t mean I read no poetry–I get one in my inbox every day courtesy of The Writer’s Almanac.
I admit it…I’ve used a few of those…. :)

I love it! Here for Thursday Thirteen! :)
Thank you for the morning chuckle!
#3 sounds familiar. One of my sisters has used it on me successfully. (I admit I’m pretty easy to fool)
