Nit Wits #18: Exercuses
ex·er·cuse n : a lame reason for not exercising.
The funniest thing happened while I was typing out the word exercise. Instead of keying an "i", my finger inadvertently hit the "u". I paused for a moment to see a brand new word before my eyes: exercuse. And then I laughed.

"I don't have time / motivation / energy / left over in my day to exercise."
"Exercise is too hard / boring / tiring."
"I have too much to do today and can't fit it in."
"I need to get more exercise, but..."
It was no coincidence that I was pushing my own "daily" workout further into the day when this happened. Subconscious prompting? Hmmmm... •
