There's nothing like an original excuse. It may not be that believable, but the sheer absurdity and uniqueness of it may actually get you off the hook when you find yourself on the spot.

I got so distracted by tracking down the sinister forces that control our lives that I could hardly keep my head together-- and then my Loompanics catalog arrived. I am so out of it sometimes! Anyway, I hope our TV stays broken this week.

I got so involved with hunting for Furbies that I could hardly work, much less concentrate on trivialities-- and then my test came back positive (a mistake, it turned out). I am so soft in the head sometimes! Anyway, I hope my karma doesn't bottom out this week.
As for you, don't blow a gasket. Get it through your brick: you aren't exactly the Dalai Lama yourself. Some of us don't keep tabs on all our friends. But have it your way-- I'm sorry. Jeez, people can be so anal.
If I asked, would you answer? Its your problem. Its a deep, deep problem. I have no way to ask about that... I have no elegant way of stepping into your heart without tracking in filth. So I will wait. Someday, when you want to tell me, tell me then. -Bleach
I won't deny the clear facts -- I wandered into the dark wood of error, disappointing my co-workers, clients, and even my lawyer. No one can be more sorry than I, though I emphasize I remember none of the details. All I can do is call on the name of the Lord, and ask for your understanding.

.......All those moments ... will be lost ... in time ... like tears in rain.
That is one of the best excuses I have ever heard.

I got so distracted by what turned out to be NOT a long-lost cousin that I could hardly think-- and then my boss got on my case COMPLETELY unfairly. I am so out of it sometimes! Anyway, I hope our TV stays broken this week.

I uh-- I uh, I violated my oath and all. What I'm not really saying very well is, I could've done better, I know. You know, I didn't mean to-- well, I'm sorry. Is that ...I don't know, what else can I say?
I got so obsessed by the teachings of Ayn Rand that I could hardly think-- and then my boss got on my case COMPLETELY unfairly. I am so unspiritual sometimes! Anyway, I hope my new meditation program clears up the problem this week.
LOL!
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.

As for you, don't lay a trip on me. In words of one syllable: you aren't the only person in the world. Some of us have a life. But I suppose I'll never get any peace till I say it-- I'm sorry. Jeez, people can be so anal.

I am less than nothing. You've reminded me-- oh, it cuts me to the quick-- that I have been a selfish, slime-wallowing hog. It would be more than just for you to leave me festering in well-deserved pain. Say the word, and I will send flowers, jewels, and furs in apology.

I uh, well-- I mean, I blew it and all. What I'm not really saying very well is, I could've done better, I know. You know, I'm like the apology man. Is that OK, or do you want like a play-by-play?
I am half-mad with shame. You've reminded me-- oh, it never leaves my thoughts, no matter how I beg-- that I have no claim on the mercy of even a saint. It would be your right for you to leave me festering in well-deserved pain. Say the word, and I will send a check to your favorite charity in apology.

I gotta-- I really-- yeah, I didn't do, you know, that stuff and all. What I-- oh man. The thing is, oh, jeez, how do I say it. You know, sorry sorry sorry. Is that OK, or do you want like a play-by-play?
heheh
