5 Original Excuses to Get Out of a Social Event

The beauty of these excuses is that you never actually have to say you're not coming. However the host will be so thrilled you didn't show up you'll be golden.

1. Explain that you've developed a mysterious unpleasant odor that may turn off other guests.
2. Say you're bringing your new favorite cabbage and anchovy dish and you just can't be talked out of it.
3. Ask where the heroin room is going to be because you just got a sweet deal on some Hungarian Brown.
4. Explain that you've become a born again Christian and you have been dying to share your story.
5. Explain that you may have trouble finding a sitter but if you can't you'll just pick up your son/daughter from their violin recital on the way and maybe he/she can even give an impromptu performance!
