So is "I wanted to prepare the sauna for our Finns, and accidentally left some meat on the stove I had turned up a tad high".
Especially when someone obviously turned the roast halfway through.

"Emil does weird things when Lalli catches food" is not an excuse, and not only because that sheep was not killed by a rifle or knife.

Between them, the page comments and my brain came up with interesting things:

I am not allowed to mislead people into thinking my dependability is anything close to decent.

Making sure two people stick together does not need to involve glue.
Or magnets sewn into their clothes.
Or fish hooks sewn into their clothes.
The fact that the two people involved frequently dream they are going fishing togethter does not make that last option "a romantic touch".

"Give Lalli that letter tomorrow" doesn't mean "immediately stick it in the cookie jar, then put it right next to him".
It also doesn't mean "attach it to a piece of string alongside a bunch of brightly colored feathers and dangle it in front of his face".
I will explain where I got those brightly colored feathers.
I will explain where I got that parrot and how I managed to hide it all this time.

I will return the TARDIS immediately.
I will not sew the TARDIS into my clothes.
I will not steal from the Doctor.
"I am a doctor too" is not an excuse.

Laughing because it's quite popular to speculate mysterious characters are time lords on TV Tropes, and "Mikkel is a timelord" was already on SSSS's "Wild mass guessing" page when I got into the comic.

I will not swap labels on the identical tin boxes containing Kitty's cat treats and Lalli's new favorite mini-biscuits.
Even if I did it a week ago and nobody else seems to have noticed, or to care if they did.
The two products having both a similar appearance and similar taste is no excuse for the continued mislabelling.
The two products turning out to actually be one and the same is no excuse for transporting both of them in the same larger tin box with "cat treats" written on one side and "Lalli's biscuits" on the other.

Cat treats! Laughing very hard at that. Doubly so since I just stopped for afternoon tea and opened a packet of oatmeal biscuits to find they had a very oniony taste. Might be something to do with the fact that the stall I bought them from also sells garlic?.....

•I will not add allium vegetables to cookie recipes, or any other kind of vegetable.

Pieces of onion above the size of my toenails make my throat burn, so I definitely wouldn't want to find some in cookies.

(Actual credit goes to wavewright62 and Purple Wyrm)

I will not introduce Finnish mages to the Old World concept of rap battles.
Nor will I introduce Icelandic mages to the ancient game of Pictionary.

I shall explain to my superiors how I managed to find out about not-publicly-known concepts from the Old World, again, in this case, "necromancy" and "Twister".
