Summary

Excuses, excuses, excuses.do you need some good ones? Of course you do--everyone does sometime! And, the wilder and wackier, the better. After all, why stick to reality when you can make 'em laugh? So, next time you wake up late and can't make it to class on time, just tell the teacher, "Sorry, I set my watch to a Star Trek episode and woke up on another planet." Or, when mom sees you snacking on sweets and snaps, "Are you eating junk food?" smile innocently and say, "You mean sugar, salt, chocolate, and chips aren't the four main food groups?" If somebody asks, "Is that a birthmark?" explain, "No, it's a barcode. I'm on sale this week for $2.95." Why bore people with the truth when a clever excuse will showcase your superior brain! Cool cartoonlike drawings of animals make every excuse even funnier.
