Three Amazing Excuses! There is No Longer Any Excuse for Not Making a Good Excuse…
Excuse 1: But what will people think? A: If what you do will provoke unthinking people to thought, is that not a good reason for action? Example: Them newfangled automobiles ain’t gonna last…but watchin them putter along sure makes me think about how much I like my horse. I tell ya, if all them idiots in town hadn’t taken that risk of drivin those automobiles today, I wouldn’t be thinkin bout my horse right now…Excuse 2: But that’s not the way we always used to do it! A: And that my friend, may be exactly why you should do something new for a change. Example: I tell ya I always used ta do my ice fishin in November on one inch of ice…my grandpappy always did it that way…and his grandpappy before him…but, when I started doin my ice fishin in January things started goin a whole lot better I tell ya…truth is, somedays I still miss that thrashin about and almost drownin in the lake…but really I got the family photo album ta remind me of all the good family times we had when the ice broke while we were fishin…yep, them were the days…but I sure don’t wanna be goin back there…Excuse 3: The liberals, conservatives, vegetarians, radicals, libertarians, regurgitarians, anarchists, astrophysicisists, and/or comic book artists won’t let me do or say that. A: Maybe so…but most of the time in western society, the reason something doesn’t happen on a local level, in our personal lives, is because somebody makes an excuse for doing nothing instead of doing something. Example: Oh, I better get goin…the wife just yelled at me ta stop foolin around on the internet an get on over to that supper table…and that’s an order I know I’m better off obayin…
