‘Ducks’
25 of the Funniest Excuses People Have Given

We’ve all ripped a fart in a less-than-ideal situation. Most of us continue on with whatever was happening like the pfft! never occurred, or we make knowing eye contact with whoever else heard it, entering into a silent and sacred bond that neither of us will break. But every now and then, a real hero steps forth to boldly blame what everyone knows was a freaking fart on something else. Like the Home Depot employee who simply said “ducks” after squeaking out a tooter so loud that customers stopped to look and a pigeon was startled from its perch.
