Funny excuses

[MAGNeT]

well ripped it frm hindustan times......

but really funny to hear

So you thought Shayan Munshi’s excuse of not knowing Hindi while he was working in Hindi films was the worst you ever heard? Or that Kaavya Viswanathan saying she “internalised” another author’s writing gave Shayan a run for his money? Think again.

These excuses, outrageous as they are, have stiff competition from various quarters — from US policymakers to a rape accused right here in Mumbai.

Here is a sampling of the choicest excuses made over the years in happenings that have shaken the world, the nation or, at least, a neighbourhood.

Abhishek Kasliwal, accused in the Worli rape case: “I’m a graduate and I come from a good family.”

Winona Ryder’s explanation for shoplifting $5,000 worth of goods: “It was for movie research.”
Judgement in the Bhanwari Devi rape case in Rajasthan in 1992: “The accused are from the higher caste and the woman is from the lower caste, so rape is not possible.”

Maradona in reply to video evidence that showed him using his hand to score a crucial goal: “It was the hand of God.”

US Vice-President Dick Cheney on the invasion of Iraq: “We have to invade Iraq because an attack from Saddam Hussein would cripple our economy.”
America’s reason for dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki: “So that we could end the war sooner and save thousands of lives.”

James Frey’s rationale for making up more than half of his life story in his memoirs: “My additions, exaggerations and misrepresentations were within the realm of what’s appropriate for a memoir.”
Bill Clinton’s excuse for lying under oath about not having sex with intern Monica Lewinsky: “Oral sex is not sexual intercourse so I was not lying under oath”.

America’s reason for dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki: “So that we could end the war sooner and save thousands of lives.”

This is actuall valid. Of course, Japan may have surrendered without the nuking of 2 cities... but that is highly unlikely....... they knew they were finished looong before the nukes... but they would rather prefer to die than accept defeat. In this scenario, if the war had to be ended, japan had to be invaded by the Allies.

And hundreds of thousands more would have died. That is for sure. both Allies and Japanese soldiers.

So, in a way, Truman did the good thing by dropping the bomb.
