    At least our illustrious illustration didn’t say “Just saying.”

    On the other hand, being offended is a choice. It is like stabbing yourself and blaming someone else. It gives the other person control over your responses.

    I’m sorry you took offense when I stated the fact that you’d be an idiot to believe an apology like this one.

    I’ll never take offense while I can take a taxi.

    I’m tired of having to apologize all the damned time.

    It’s not that I lack contrition, or that I do not believe your reasons for being offended are valid. It is only that I cannot imagine a world in which I do not offend you in some way, and most probably incessantly and with my every breath and every beat of my blackened heart. Since it is not within my power to withdraw such offense, I can only offer my sincere apology for your animosity towards me, which is entirely beyond my ability to rectify, though I certainly would do so, if only it were within my power.Most sincerely, and humbly then, with full acknowledgement of my own limitations and failings, I apologize.

    Iffy apologies, which have become political stock-in-trade, make me peevish. I am sorry if my peevishness offends anyone. (But I really don’t give a fig.)Who ever saw a black-maned pink flamingo with a barcode, until now?

    English depends on word order to a great extent. Suppose you put ’if" at the beginning of the caption you get, “If I apologize I offended anyone.”

    Never mind. Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.

    See… this is what you get for sticking your neck out. Now, you’re blushing with embarrassment, and it all could have been averted if only you had tossed out a casual, “No offense, but…” when you first opened your big mouth.

    Sort of like … I’m sorry if it was painful when I stabbed you in the back with that icepick. I didn’t intend to hurt you.

    It amazes me that there are people who believe that they know what terms other people find offensive and come up with alternative, politically correct, terms that, over time, also become offensive.

    Whatever the bar code means, it’s not in Red Laser’s database. Yeah, I held my phone up to the screen and it wouldn’t scan, but it worked testing it on product bar codes on the screen.

    I’m definitely going with the fake flamingo just for decorative purposes, because it maintains continuity with yesterday’s work. I’m all about continuity and things unseen.Continuity is hexagram 32 of the I Ching, Heng, which translates to “Persevering”, “duration” and “constancy”.It is comprised of Thunder above Wind, which is a pretty good description of a fake apology.

    No, but one time when he was supposed to be practicing the zither I caught him polishing his plectrum.
