I, like most, make excuses, but I try not to. If I am owning up to something I have done I will usually preface with this:
"What I am about to tell you isn't an excuse, it is an explaination. It doesn't, and shouldn't absolve me from guilt, but it does explain what I did and why."
You may now go about posting jokes now that the serious post is out of the way.
