excuse's that help when asked about scars

[babylon5]

over the years i have been asked lots of times about my arms so i thought i would start a thread for excuse's that you have used when asked about scars and stuff


here are some that i have used sometimes with clients and kids if they ask when shopping


"What happened to your arms?"

"I work as a tiger tamer"

See, the thing with shadow boxing is, you have to remember that if you arent above fighting dirty neither is your shadow.... (then try and look a bit unhinged)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Person: What happened to your arm...?
You: My dog doesn't like to be bathed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey dude, i have little kittens at home.. They love to play.. With my hands

---------------------------------------------------------

person : what happened to your arms?!

You : What happened to your manners? ... * walk away *

-----------------------------------------------------------------


"What happened to your arm?"
"Ever try to hug a koala? They're not as cuddly as they look."

---------------------------------------------------------------


"What happened to your arm!"
"Oh, I got into an argument with a hat and coat rack the other morning."
----------------------------------------------------------------
What happened to my arms?? I got in a fight with Freddy Crugger and won

I love your answers!  rotfl

I can't actually think of anything witty or anything to top yours! Is it wrong that I found them funny??! 

[Tallulah]

I don't tend to be witty with it. I just say I was ill and then move on...

no it isnt wroung i just think people shouldnt ask about the marks as if i say what they realy are they avoid me so i make up somthing stupid plus i hate nosy people

[Sian-May]

Yeah I totally agree with you. I think it's a bit rude. Mine are hidden so no-one sees them. I used bio oil on my arm and now they've all gone apart from the hidden ones

For humour I say I am a lion tamer.

For more serious times I say I put my hand through a window.

After 10years in animal care though most people assume they're from animals though...
