Perfect excuse

[deadedith]

I have a new all-purpose excuse: "Honey, you were supposed to mow the lawn". "Well I was going to, but there was a JACKKNIFED BIG-RIG BLOCKING THE FREEWAY! " I got that from today's Peanuts cartoon!!! I love it...

I like it. Since I already used the following, I needed a new one:

"Honey, I would have been home on time but a truck full of live chickens flipped over on the high way and the chickens were running all over the road! It took the cops hours to find them all! Boy I'll tell ya, it sure was funny watching the cops chase those chickens!"

Reminds me of a funny line I saw (maybe posted here already). "It's amazing how stupid dogs can be...I mean just the other day, I watched a dog chase its tail for ten minutes. Then again, I just spent ten minutes watching a dog chase its tail....."

Tony - Yours is better BUT - really, you can't use it that often - I mean, unless you live in a very HCPC area.

OTOH, big rigs jackknife at the drop of a hat, and hats drop like all the time.

Once in college, I was a double major in biology and chemistry and I was this close to going to med school but changed my mind, I was late for a date with a particularly attractive woman, I told her I was late because my final project was on bee's and I was trying to catch some bee farts.


OK. I made that up.

You clever boots, you :-)


BTW, no one asked, but the HCPC area in my earlier post stood for High Chicken Per Capita, a very useful figure to have.

So Tony, proctology had to move to the rear, huh? I mean, to the rear in terms of priorities.
