Worst excuse for dumping Pluto as a planet?

[Bossy Monkey]

Seriously, it was the bit about its orbit crossing Neptune's. Um, fellas, how do you know Neptune's orbit isn't crossing Pluto's? Let's ditch Neptune as well!:)

4. I had to dump Pluto... we were moving in different directions

daughter's suggested alternative answer:

I had to "dump" Pluto. If I "dumped" Neptune I'd have to get stiches.

5. "Pluto, it's not you, it's me"

But let's stay friends.

6. Clinton got a blowjob

The moral decay caused by Clinton getting a hummer degraded Pluto's orbit. It's all the fault of the Clenis.

8. If Pluto had oil it'd still be a planet.

It's always about the oil.

9. The simple answer is: Pluto ain't in the Bible.

Therefore, it doesn't exist. :)

10. I'm going with Gustav Holst on this one.

The fade-out on "Neptune, the Mystic" simply screams: 'Last planet, last planet, last planet...'
