Discussion
GoldenTaco: the dog excuse is bulletproof right up until the dog passes. then you're sad AND stuck at the party
DarkPossum: I once told someone I needed to go home and think of an excuse and they just nodded and let me leave. Nobody buys it, but nobody stops you either.
RealPenguin2k: Irish goodbye in Bulletproof is correct. Don't look around. Don't make eye contact. Walk with purpose. Never run.
cursed_pigeon_35: Colonoscopy should be higher. Nobody on earth has a follow up question for that.
grumpy_goose: you're adults. you can just leave.
