Get the Funny Story mug.
The way you begin your story when you are about to lie to your friend or make an excuse.
Example1:

Christian: So Philip told me that he saw you watch a movie with my sister last Friday night.

DJ: Haha, Funny Story Bro....

Example2:

Jordan: So I heard you slept over my girlfriend's house last Friday night.

DJ: Haha, Funny Story Bro...
