Awesome SickiesA colleague has been off work for two weeks now - apparently he's got something they can't diagnose, (although they know for sure it's not Legionnaires, Malaria, BSE or AIDS, he's supposedly in isolation). We are all sure he's merely sitting in the sun waiting for the World Cup to come on the telly.
What have you invented to get off work?

Wascally Weasel and Captain WowThe phrase 'hoisted by your own petard' actually comes from a medevil bell shaped device filled with gunpowder later redisgned as a wooden box. It was carried by some unfortunate people to the walls or gates of enemy fortifications where it would be detonated. The people carrying it had to leg it or sometimes be blown up (because no one checked the fuse length) hence 'hoisted by your own petard'. Hoisted by your own retard is something completely different and experienced by care workers.
oh and i pulled a sickie once in school when i had just had some blood taken i managed to convince my mum i was feeling faint so couldnt goto school. even though i'd only had about 10ml of blood taken.
