"But, Honey Dearest, I was skunked last time out! And I tried so hard!
I'm feeling inadequate and insecure. It could have long-lasting emotional and psychological consequences. My performance at work will suffer, I'll take it out on my subordinates, I'll have to appear before a labour relations committee, I'll be professionally ruined!! I need to get "right" with myself, redeem myself, live up to my own high expectations. I need to be one with my lure. It's therapy. I need an outlet. If I stay home I'll just mope around all day sighing, looking down at my shoes. I won't be able to eat, I'll just waste away into a shell of a man. It could have long-reaching medical implications, stress is the number one killer of men my age. I think OHIP covers it. I can probably get a prescription. Begging makes me less of a man, I need to preserve my self-worth!
Or.......just go with the note and blame Snarf.
His wife already doesn't like him.
