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?

A Fine AilmentWhilst at university, I got into a spot of trouble having bunked nine months of lectures. A tutor eventually caught up with me one afternoon in the bar, when on a bender, I had already consumed nine pints of stella.
Being quite caned, the only excuse I could come up with was that I had developed alcoholism. Given the state of me, he amazingly believed it. I was taken off to the faculty secretary and forced to make an appointment with the big professor for the next day.
To make my story more convincing, I had to drink another eight or nine stellas and half a dozen shots of Chartreuse. Suffice to say, when I met him the next day I stank like a brewery and looked wrecked.
Luckily he believed it, and all was forgiven. In return I had to see a volunteer counsellor twice, and keep up the hangovers with excessive drinking for a while. Worked a treat...even got a special dispensation for the year end exams.
Sweet.
