How do you apologize?

A. Apologies show weakness. I prefer, “Take that!”
B. I crack an old chestnut like “I just flew off the handle, and boy are my arms tired.”
C. “I’m so sorry! Here, let me—oops! Sorry again! This will fix you right up—oops! Uh, this is where I run away.”
D. The classics are best. “In apology, I can do no less than to place my faith and fortune at your disposal.”
