Nothing like that ever happened. I double dog dare you to produce one shred of evidence to support what you just said. Which you can't do because you made it up."

That's what you say when nothing happened.

You don't say "Back in high school, I did some dumb things and if anybody was hurt by that or offended, obviously I apologize for that. I participated in a lot of high jinks and pranks during high school and some might have gone too far and for that, I apologize."

That's what you when it happened but you don't see what the big deal is.
