Way out/off

Another triple treat one day from Inquirer's Comic Relief:

B.C.             - Seasonal Adjustment= The 3 inches of additional leeway offered to your

                      usual belt notch

Baby Blues- Son: Do you remember your very first date with Mom?

                      Dad: Of course.

                      Son: What was she wearing?

                      Dad: Um...clothes?

                      Son: YOU'RE RIGHT, MOM! NOT A CLUE!

                      Mom: TOLD YA!

                      Dad: Maybe I was blinded by your beauty!

Ben            - Ben : Hey, did you see the picture that the salmon took of himself?

                     Wife: No.

                     Ben  : Neither did I. He never shared it. It was "selfish" of him, wasn't it?

 Rationalizations are ways out of problematic situations.
