What does "funny story" mean?

1970s/80s: You are about to lie or make an excuse.

mid90s onwards: You are in bit of a soup and you have a semi-valid excuse. So you just say "funny story" and its understood that you are not going to hold your end of the bargain.

Friend1: Did I see you driving my car yesterday ?
Friend2: Funny story... I was looking for _my_ car keys and ...

Manager: How are we placed on the back order from Big Company ?
