There was a long line ahead of me

Da "ultimate" in acceptable excuses for why it took you so long to finish shopping, processing'delivering bureaucratic paperwork, or otherwise conducting routine business.

Telling your having-impatiently-waited family or car-pool buddies, "There was a long line ahead of me" may indeed get you off da hook as far as their venting their seething wrath at you, but you yourself will likely find it very stressful (not to mention tiring on your achy legs and feet!) to have to cool your heels in line for so long, and so in the end you may feel similarly weakened and emotionally exhausted as you would have if you'd had to "face the music" because you **hadn't** had any plausible excuse for producing such a lengthy delay in finishing up.

Blue Line Insurance Coverage

Used in place of Qualified Immunity, the controversial legal doctrine that protects police officers accused of misconduct and violating constitutional rights.

Did you see the video of the guy being beat up by the police, while he was handcuffed? That was wrong for them to do that. Yeah, but they won't get in any trouble, because they've got that Blue Line Insurance Coverage.
