I just got a lovely gift of a song called "I'll Think of a Reason Later" by Lee Ann Womack. Maybe some of you already know it. Here is the chorus:
It may be my family's redneck nature
Rubbin' off, bringin' out unlady-like behavior
It sure ain't Christian to judge a stranger
But I don't like her
She may be an angel who spends all winter
Bringin' the homeless blankets and dinner
A regular Nobel Peace Prize winner
But I really hate her
I'll think of a reason later
Tasty.
I’ll Think of a Reason Later
"So convienent a thing it is to be a reasonable creature, since it enables one to find or make a reason for everything one has a mind to do."
Ben Franklin, smitten with the smell of cod, in pursuing a rational exemption from his vegetarian impulses.
Also tasty.
