So this afternoon, while jauntily skipping along the high street, I ran in to a former co-fornicator. We had parted amicably and seen each other since, but today I wasn’t in the mood for catching-up when he said: ‘Come for a drink.’ I forced a smile and said: ‘I can’t.’ His eyes fixed on my face in a look with which a man reconnoitres all women whom he suspects of lying and said: ‘Why not?’ Oh poppycock, I thought, why not?! And said what I usually say in these situations: ‘Because I promised my dog I’d take him to the park.’ He looked at me with a faint trace of surprise on his face and said: ‘I didn’t know you had a dog.’ I spent the next ten minutes telling him about a dog I do NOT have, which in hindsight was much more laborious than that drink would have been. Silly, silly...

Why is it that you 'usually' say you have to take your dog for a walk? It's not the greatest of excuses if you don't actually have a dog. Has this excuse served you well in the past?
Did you do anything worhthwhile after not going for a drink with him?

I hot wired a car, picked up a handsome stranger and was ready to bust this lousy town...until I realised I've got a dinner date tonight.
You should have responded with "I don't have a dog you muppet, but as you can't take no for an answer I thought I try going creative on your insensitive ass!"

Why not invite the dog to bed aswell? Then he'd sleep with two drooling layabouts in one afternoon.
