I'm Sorry or I Apologize

"I’m sorry" and "I apologize" mean the same thing.

Except at a funeral.

Listen here, lil' buddy. Saying sorry and apologizing are basically the same thing, right? But imagine you're at a funeral. Someone just kicked the bucket, and everyone's sad. Now, you can say "I'm sorry for your loss," which is normal and respectful. But if you say "I apologize for your loss," it sounds like you're the one who caused the death! Bet you didn't know that, did you?
