Excuses To Escape Blame

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

When I was a kid in the 50s-60s water pipe was made of galvanized steel. So one Sunday I was mowing a neighbors yard, bumped his outside hose bib with my mower, and broke the water pipe. The pipe was seriously rusted. My pay for mowing the yard was $2, the plumber cost me $100. My ma said, YOU BROKE IT YOU BOUGHT IT.

When my 3 year old grandson broke a window and blamed it on the dog I said: EVERY KID GETS ONE FREE BROKE WINDOW. MAKE SURE THE DOG DONT BOUNCE GOLF BALLS INSIDE NO MORE.

What are your favorite excuses when you fuck up?

"It's Bush's fault!" Seems to work with a huge cross section of the population.

But he's been gone six years so you have to evolve it into "It's the Republican's fault"

That excuse has worked for Obama for 6 six years and counting, his entire presidency is based on that singular excuse and it is scripture to many n this forum.

I think its fitting that in this day of entitlement and no accountability whatsoever our president leads by example.

Didn't Freud teach us to blame parents?

My go to excuse.

And of course, there's also this option.

Who needs Bush and Obama when we have such classics?

Leon did it.

Usually wasn't a excuse either, more like a fact.

I...was a sweet, kind, innocent kid!

Then I was born.

"It's Obama's fault!" Heard from every right-wing pundit some time in the last six years.
