Today's earthquake in our area and the whoppers (oops, I mean testimonies) surrounding it, got me thinking. I could just hear the earthquake being used as an excuse if it happened in hunting season!
Imagine this conversation in my store?
Me: Hey, Mr Smith. How did your hunting season go?
Mr Smith: I had the buck of a lifetime. He was the biggest I've ever seen.
Me: Really?
Mr Smith: Oh easily. Thick tines, nontypical, but I missed him!
Me: What happened? Your ammo failed? Something wrong with your scope? Did he pick up your scent?
Mr Smith: No, no. We had that darn earthquake and it threw my shot off.
Me (incredulous): Really?
Oh, I can think of all kinds of excuses the earthquake could bring about...
I had a monster fish on and lost it when the earthquake knocked me off my feet.
I was going to catch the winning touchdown, but the earthquake tripped me.
The earthquake struck me out in baseball.
It goes on and on. Any you can think of?
can't see your image :)
ReplyDeleteIt's the earthquake's fault, Donna! How about now?
