Have you ever been in a situation where you have to come up with a legitimate reason for your actions? Sometimes people go way out of their way though; for instance, when a reason for a failed drug test is needed.

-                  Hi, how are you today? I need to discuss something very serious. I have failed my test today, and I know it is my fault and all, but there are a couple peculiarities about it. See, this was not a simple test, it was very important that I pass. And now I have to come up with excuses why I failed it… Well, do not have to, but I am going to anyway. It is my significant other who had me take the test, and I promised that I would stay clean, but she got me… Anyways, I wanted to see if you can help me to come up with an excuse why I could not pass a drug test, you know – why drugs are not such a big deal for me as it is for her. I think she is overreacting – mushrooms are so harmless, it is almost food, and it does not last for long, neither! And what else – they are in the kids’ books – Alice in Wonderland ate it – I guess that is how she got to Wonderland in the first place. And then Mario – you know, a video game – there was this mushroom that gave him super powers. I mean, anywhere you look – it is all good, and not a big deal if you have fun every once in a while. You know what I mean? Does that sound reasonable to you?

-                  I am sorry, sir, I am afraid I cannot help you in this matter; but if you have another drug test coming up we can definitely help you pass it.

-                  Sounds good, thank you! I shall think ahead next time.
