Can you give me a sentence using the word excuse?

There could be 2 different ways to use "excuse." "Please excuse me from the table." In this use, "excuse" means "Please forgive me for leaving the table." This is the same usage for "Excuse me." used when you pass someone, bump into someone, or interrupt someone. OR "That's not a good excuse." This one is a little confusing.

A rationale is an explanation of a good reason.
