Excuses for declining the position of General Dopgsbody Orraman:
"I'm allergic to nuts."
"I've got enough money, ta."
"I don't like tea."
"Orramen in orra stories give me nightmares."
"You haven't got a television."
"I don't believe you really are Dr. Who."
"After reading all that, I need a holiday."
"I thought I'd better learn Linux first so as to have a better chance of getting the job, so on the way I met this penguin, and he told me he was an enchanted king penguin, not just a prince, and if I kissed him, he would turn back into a king and give me all sorts of things. All he gave me was psittacosis, and I'm still in hospital."
"Oh, and why did Hercules turn the job down?";
