"Now THAT'S a lame excuse!"

today I was in Big bux and I saw our local journalist.  She was by herself so I said:

"You are more then welcome to join me if you like"

she replied:

"I would but I have bills to pay!"

I thought, now that is one of the most lame excuses I ever heard.  It reminded me of when I had a blind date in Hampden (Baltimore) at a pizza shop.

the guy wasn't there but 5 minutes when he said: "I've gotta go, I think I left my oven on!"
