but hey, yesterday I was going to push you from the ninth floor!

I'm sorry I said your grandmother's face reminded me of an old man's armpit...

I'm sorry I didn't tell you about that cat vomit before you stepped in it...

...it gave you time to consider whether you wanted to write in a vote for Penelope Clearwater or Homer Simpson.

you shouldn't have turned all of the lights off, and ignored the people knocking at your door, because you thought it was kids and you were too cheap to buy candy to hand out.

I'm sorry you think I was talking behind your back, but ...

but luckily, the horse she was hiding in her backyard got spooked and kicked a hole in her fence, distracting Barney and Goober from her complaint about your shooting at her loose dog with your grand daughter's BB gun. So she got the ticket instead! (Loosely based on actual facts!)


I'm sorry that your nerdy podiatrist went to high school with you and seems to revel in the fact that you were once popular but now he is more successful while you have tendonitis. (also based, less loosely, on actual facts)
