Why I was late"On the way to the station, I got hit by a bat, it almost took my head clean off. Then the machine would not accept my ticket and the guy at the gate didn't think I looked like the photo on my travel card. So I had to go home and get my passport.
Then the train was 45 minutes late to the station because of the dangerous badger threat at Carpenters Park.
When I was on the train it took and hour and a half to get past the biscuit factory because the driver was really fat.
Then there was a delay stopping at the station because the train in front had heard we were coming and decided to play a practical joke with a rubber shoe on the track.
That is why I couldn't get here on time today."
What's your best excuse?

So there was this box of ninjas right...When I was about 16 I used to go rowing with this absolute joke of a club, it was a good laugh, we mostly took the piss out of the other super competitive clubs in the area (because they didn't have a bar like we did) and had tea and biscuits after ten minutes on the water.
The best part was making up excuses for being late for fitness training (2.5 mile run, WTF?).
This was what we said to our not-so-happy coach on a particularly perfect for training day (bright, cool breeze, not too hot, not too cold)
"So we were walking to training right? But there was this box of ninjas, see? So obviously we had to fight them!
And we would have been there sooner but then we were kidnapped by one of the other clubs because they heard our tea making was a front and we were actually the biggest competition.
We were then arrested by the FBI because we had to disguise ourselves as Arabian nomads to escape from the rowing compound. When we were found innocent we were then approached to make a documentary about our experiences so we got caught up in a meeting with the studio executives.
And that's why we only made it for the warm down.
