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?

Finally one i can answer..Ok i have an absolute gem. I work as a sales assistant, glamorous i know, and one day i did'nt show up for work at all. My excuse?
Well my entire family had gone up to Derby to take my brother back to uni, i could'nt go seeing as i had work and could'nt get the time off. I had a new boyfriend at the time and thought it would be a good idea to have him stay over.
Cue him inviting all his mates over to my house to get bladdered. They ended up SEVERLEY blocking my toilet...the sight of your new boyfriends shit spilling over your bog could have qualified as the most horrific thing i have ever seen. There was food trampled through my carpets...it was a mess.
So what do i do? Turn my phone off so work can't get hold of me. When they eventually do i give them this absolute gem of an excuse:
"I went out last night and someone stole my bag, it had my house keys and phone in it, so i had to sleep at my boyfriends house...and also the people who stole my bag have appeared to have broken into my house and trashed it...and they had my phone thats why i couldnt phone you until now...plus...erm...i had to give a statement to the police..."
BIG MISTAKE. My boss knows my mum, so when she got back from Derby she demanded to know who had 'broken into our house'....oops.
/generic length joke
