The Perfect Excuse

I recommend that every one get a C-section at least once a year. It's the closest thing to a perfect excuse you can get, except maybe, "I died". Which you can't really use as an excuse. That falls more into the reason category. What better answer can you give when someone asks why you didn't do what you were supposed to do?

"Did you get my important email?"

"No, sorry, I was in the hospital."

"Did you listen to those lectures online?"

"Oh, I didn't get a chance, sorry, I was paralyzed from the armpits down."

"You're all caught up on the reading, right?"

"Actually, I couldn't even go to the bathroom by myself, but I'll get right on it now."

It's the perfect excuse, or so I thought. But unfortunately, I go to lawschool. So when I pulled out my perfect excuse, all I got was:

"You mean they don't have wireless at the hospital?"

Sheesh.
