I'm 'cooked', my house is on fire, I'm down in the Grand Canyon let me see if I can climb out fast enough, I'm hanging from an amusement park ride, I'm stuck at the airport looking for my visa, my daughter's getting married in half an hour, I'm on the roof of my house trying to call 911 can you please hang up, I'm undergoing heart surgery but can be there tomorrow, as soon as they pry me out of this car, let me check with my bail bondsman, the neighbor's pit-bull won't let me out of the house, a tree fell on my house and I can't reach my journal, someone bled on my ink pad, as soon as I get rid of this rash, I'm just about done with this wine trail, I'm out of state will you pay extra, my printer melted on your last 400 page order, I'm being chased by a bear (pant for this one), the power's out in my neighborhood, and finally....can we meet at the bar?
They won't care!
My favorite: "I'm going to my dad's funeral in a couple of hours." "Do you think you can squeeze this in before?" (sure, he can wait...) True story. Happened to me 10 years ago. Salute! |
