Bowling with your buddies is a lot of fun. You can relax and talk about sports, girls, school, and other things. However, sometimes you girlfriend may not appreciate being excluded from this activity. Here is a list of ten excuses for not taking your girlfriend bowling:
- I'm going bowling tonight with my buddies, and we are not doing bumper bowling. (This statement will probably land you in the doghouse.).
- The balls are so heavy. I'm afraid that you might break a nail. (This statement will probably lead you into getting a broken nail and a few other things as well.).
- My buddies all smoke. I know how your asthma acts up when you're around smoke. I'm actually doing you a favor. (This statement will probably make your girlfriend steam. Never mention that you are doing your girlfriend a favor by avoiding her.).
- I'm doing this as a business activity. I really hate bowling. I promise that I won't stay out later than two a.m. (Bowling until two, I don't think so. Doubt and distrust are the likely outcome of this statement.).
- I'm inviting my buddies over your house after we're done bowling. I hope you don't mind. (Are you asking to be thrown out of your girlfriend's house? This statement will definitely do it.).
- Listen honey, while I'm going bowling, why don't you do my laundry? (Are you nuts? Do you have a death wish? Never ask your girlfriend to do your laundry while you're out having fun.).
- I'll make it up to you. Next week, I'll take you to the tractor pull competition. (This ought to make your girlfriend happy. Not!)
- I'm going bowling with my buddies as part of a research project. I'm studying the effects of interaction with male bonding. (After making this statement, you certainly will not be doing any female bonding.).
- Bowling is actually hard work. I promise that I will be miserable the whole time. (Actually, you will be very miserable after you return home. How does sleeping on the couch by yourself sound?)
- By going bowling with my buddies, I'm allowing you more time to finish my homework. (Can you hear the fireworks going off on this remark? Stupid is as stupid does.)
