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."
