Excuse Exchange

When two struggling artists who claim to be anti-corporate meet unexpectedly in a corporate environment where they clearly work. Suddenly a need to justify their presence arise and both make excuses to the fact.
Typical for musicians, artists, writers, actors, etc.

I ran into Jim in the lobby at work this morning. We had an excuse exchange since I told him I'm a professional musician. All he could talk about was how he was only at the gig part-time but his acting is "really taking off".... yeah right, just like my music career! Busted!
