Excuses

Has anybody ever noticed
That women are built to complain
They always ask where you've been
But they never let you explain

So here's some new excuses
That work from time to time
If you ever run out of your own 
Feel free to use some of mine

I was helping an old lady 'cross the street
When she got run over by an elf
I couldn't find a doctor anywhere
So I had to do surgery myself

I passed a burning building, when a lady cried out,
"Please Mr, Save my child"
So, I shimmied up the drain pipe to rescue the kid
While the firemen just stood there and smiled

I went to the bank to deposit my check
When five men walked over in masks
I used kung fu to take them all down
Before the teller even asks

So that's my story and I'm stickin' to it
Believe what you wanna believe
It's not lying, it's only excuses
No matter what you perceive

LOL, very amusing, but you know, if you did as you were told, like men are supposed to, you wouldn't need all those excuses ;) Great fun, thanks for sharing this one :)
