Art Vanda lay

People, specially the normal ones, face "spots" where they have to come up with stories of sorts! Allow me to explain:

A hypothetical situation,
You are running late for a get-together, something that is really not worth attending and yet you are compelled (due to some unspoken misfortune!) to endure the rendezvous, you tend to delay. And then, at some point, when you actually reach the scene of gather, you are to give a good reason for your absence till that moment. Now, that is when you will have to come up with the perfect cover for your hold up ("stories of sorts")!

So, technically speaking, you are about to lie, and when you are at it, it better be good.
It is at such moments that you can always count on "Art Vanda lay" !?
Now, who is he? Well, he is an anybody, a somebody and a nobody!!

I first got to know Art Vanda lay, while I was watching an episode of Seinfeld. I am an addict, if I may call myself so, of the daily sitcom and I thoroughly enjoy the "sick humor" that is prevalent in abundance! Art Vanda lay is a phony or "the perfect alibi" that George Costanza (a character in the sitcom) summons every time he is in need of a decent lie!
Let me elaborate:
Art Vanda lay works on the 17th floor of the(any building for that matter and your building may probably have just 15 floors, but that doesn't matter!!) building, is an architect of sorts, and dribbles in a potpourri of activities. He could be a latex merchant(given the scenario, specially when you are looking out for references for your resume!!) willing to hire you, or probably just a friend you went to visit, when instead you could have accompanied your mother shopping, you get the idea I guess!!
Ergo, for the normal people I was referring to, it is but natural to land in sticky situtations. So take my advice and create your very own Art Vanda lay, it pays!?!
