Author(s): PRICE

Humour

No excuses? No way! Creative, shocking, laughably lame-they come in all forms, and now they're carefully compiled per the occasion so you can be the judge. "Excuses for All Occassions" will have you reliving your best attempts at amnesty and chuckling over stories you never thought you'd hear. From a student's "my dog ate my homework" to the motorist's "That was the speed limit, Officer - I thought it was the town population" to Rocky Bridges' baseball classic "I managed good but they played bad" and Ralph Kramden's succinct "a-humma-humma", looking for ways to escape or shift blame is a fundamental part of life. Now here's a book full of ready-made excuses. Some are actual, some fanciful, and all are designed to tickle your funny bone.
