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?

Passing The BuckMy boss is renowned for being a tad "elusive" in the workplace.
If he ever catches me to ask why I'm late (which 85% of the time I am) my answer is always simply :
"I've been here ages, doing blah** but where the hell were YOU?!"
Never fails to shut him up. Guilty conscience
perhaps?
** Insert fabricated and entirely infallible excuse
