When I was younger
It was coming up to the end-of-year ball at school, and a friend of mine didn't have anything to wear, so he dipped into the funds in the box under his dad's bed. Obviously, he'd sworn not to take any, but take it he did, and he hired a suit with it.
Of course, his dad found out that the money was missing, and of course, he got a bollocking, and at the end of the argument his dad just asks him "why?"
"Broke 'n' prom" he says.
Or something equally contrived. Possibly involving my bro', Ken, I don't know.

Heh - yes! Good work! Here's a penny!

Something like
your brother Kenneth being a professional golfer and (after a windy and tedious lead-up) having to make a particular shot for a tournament, and then encountering some sort of hindrance, with the result that bro' Ken, pro, misses.

That's what I was looking for, thanks.
Everyone, read that again but pretend that I wrote it. Cheers.
