After a tough night of grind-it-out bowling, better bowlers will typically know exactly what went wrong and why they didn't score. When asked about their low scores, these bowlers will typically cite poor mechanics, mental game lapses, or judgment mistakes made as the reason for the low scores. During last week's PBA event here in Phoenix, I saw Norm Duke go flying over the foul line not once, but twice in the 10th frame of his first game of the qualifying round of 64. The double-F gave him a zero-count for the 10th frame. Instead of making excuses, he made the telecast.
Other bowlers seem to go out of their way to find any excuse as to why they didn't bowl well. If you stay around the game long enough, you'll hear tons of them, some of them so ludicrous they make feel like you just caught an ice pick in the forehead.
So what are some of the lamest, funniest, "out-there", most ludicrous excuses you've heard for poor bowling scores? What's the worst excuse you've ever used?

Kill the back row (or maybe this should read "make your spares, dummy")
