Mnemonic

Who always makes excuse after excuse? Men (めん)! They have an excuse for everything. Why didn’t you take out the trash? Why did you forget my birthday? It’s just excuse after excuse with men. So I’ve heard, anyway.

Hints

Imagine all the men you’ve talked to in your life. Think of every excuse they’ve told you. Think of the worst excuse you’ve ever heard. Remember that.
