"I did too many push-ups; my chest is so sore."

"These new birth control pills are making the girls so tender, but on the plus side they've grown at least a cup size!"
 

"I had corrective jaw surgery for my underbite- it was causing abnormal wear on my teeth."    (*cough* Bristol Palin *cough*)

"I had an allergic reaction to a bee sting on my jaw!"
 

"I just got back from vacation, I feel so rested... but a little puffy from all the junk food."

"I was hit by a racquet while playing racquetball!"
 

"I just had a rough bout with the stomach flu."

"My cousin talked me into this juice fast... pounds are dropping left and right but it makes me too tired to participate in any strenuous activities."
