Tired of Explaining just why you decided to come home from West Point? Never Fear, Transients is here! The following is a handy list of excuses that tend to get people to either shut up, or get the hint that you want them to leave you alone about it!

1. "I shot a guy in the leg"

A personal favorite, it has ended many a conversation this quickly:

LilGirly** [1:08 PM]:  hey
OrienteeringPro [1:10 PM]:  howdy
LilGirly** [1:10 PM]:  is this jay???
OrienteeringPro [1:10 PM]:  indeed
LilGirly** [1:10 PM]:  are u home???
OrienteeringPro [1:10 PM]:  affirmative
LilGirly** [1:10 PM]:  dude what happened??
OrienteeringPro [1:10 PM]:  shot a guy in the leg
LilGirly** [1:11 PM]:  WHAT!!!
OrienteeringPro [1:11 PM]:  just a flesh wound, but now i'm "unfit to carry a rifle"
LilGirly** [1:11 PM]:  omg

Leg can also be interchangable for a number of different body parts. Arm, crotch, foot, hand, pretty much any extremity. Warning: A deathly area (i.e. FACE) is hard to believe by most.

2. "My Drill SGT called me a pansy, so I decked him"

This is a pretty good one, simply because of how believable it is, especially to anyone who's been in the military. It does, however, depend on your own disposition. If you really want to use it though, almost anyone can be driven to violence if you push them enough!

3. "I had suicidal tendencies, I don't want to talk about it"

This is usually pretty good because almost NO ONE wants to get into suicide in todays society, (If you do want to get into suicide in todays society, go here)

4. "I didn't like getting touched in those places all those times"

This pretty much guarantees that you will have NO follow up questions.

thats all for now, send me any other excuses you may have!
