Joe, the neighborhood chronic borrower
Joe, the neighborhood chronic borrower approached his neighbor, “Ray, may I borrow your axe?”
“Not today,” Ray replied, “I have to make soup.”
“What kind of excuse it that?!” demanded Joe.
“Well,” confessed Ray, “I admit its a lousy excuse. But, if I don’t want to loan you my axe, one excuse is as good as another.”
