I've heard my self say it:
"I'm on the wrong bike".
Knowing full well I wouldn't do it on a bleedin Session 88.
Also, about the same drop -
"There's no point going down there, you have to walk back up again"
Sounds like the Dalby Gil drop lol?
"i'm a big girls blouse, deal with it"
"I'll do it next time"

"i take less risks now with a 9 week old at home"I broke my hip when my daughter was 9 weeks old, at the local jump spot.
that was a tricky call home...
Why! Did she answer the the phone?
I'm not stupid or immortal.

I wish, unfortunately my wife did;
"Errrm, I fell off my bike and I've hurt my leg. I'm in an 4x4 ambulance but once I get my breath back and this dead leg goes away I'll be coming home"
She wasn't fooled and asked to speak to one of the paramedics.
Coincidently;
For the 4 days I was in hospital following the op to have my leg reattached my daughter refused to do a poo.
I got home collapsed on the sofa had daughter sat on my good knee and then, within about 2 minutes, she let the entire backlog out.
We virtually had to hose the lounge out afterwards.
Amongst mine are:
1. "my cranks aren't warrantied for jumping"
2. "there is a weight limit on my wheels - they are not for jumping"
3. "my collarbone is still strengthening"
4. "my bikes a bit nervous on the steeps, with a 70degree HA and 100mm forks"
I do find problems mostly on steepish stuff where it has been loosened up by people with much fatter tyres than me, really justifies excuse 4 justified when combined with narrow xc tyres.
My Flux frame never came with stickers so to the casual observer it looks like a 5 spot, even though the forks are 100mm.
So I plan to get some Flux stickers on it to give me some justification for wimping out.
