With the help of the blame-passers in Every Excuse in the Book, there is no misdeed you can commit that can't be disavowed, dismissed, rejected, shifted, neutralized, side-stepped, dodged, redirected, or diffused.

Our society has become one in which nobody is willing to take responsibility for their actions. The level of finger-pointing has reached such absurd levels. it leaves us asking, "What can possibly be done to reverse this trend?"

Authors Craig Boldman and Pete Matthews don't know -- they just know it's not their fault. And now you, too, can distance yourself from this problem -- and any other -- with Every Excuse in the Book This compendium of cop-outs, complete with more than sixty illustrations, offers hilarious excuses for every conceivable situation.

Blame isn't something that falls on someone -- it's a fly to be shooed away, and it only really lands on the person who's not resourceful enough to avoid it. And with the excuses in this humorous new book, you'll never be that person! Try one of these for starters:
-- It was just one of those things.
-- There's no evidence of wrongdoing on my part.
-- In my homeland, this is acceptable behavior.
-- Your standards are too high.
-- That caning in Singapore messed me up.
-- Newt.
-- You're thinking in black and white. Think in shades of gray. [via]
