Apology Ecard with text: I'm sorry I'm not always very modest. But in my defence I have fewer things to be modest about.

modesty

I apologize all the time. Never sincerely, of course - why rob the experience of fun and whimsy? - but just to practice I guess, in case the unthinkable happens. That's right, even I make mistakes, though the last time was in 2003 when I stupidly agreed to share my ice-cream with someone (long story short: I lost half of my ice-cream) but the point is.. look I don't remember. Something to do with sharks.

Apology

from the newsletter

I spent an upsetting amount of money buying a Happy Meal and it did not make me happy. It’s Germany though, so the meal came with a beer. I asked if I could have whiskey instead and they looked at me as if I was mad.
