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?

When I started a new job a few years agoI was having a natter with the saturday lad (who started at the same time as me). The topic of "fantastic excuses" came up and I asked him what his best blag was.
"Major surgery"
Apparently he told his old bosses that he had to have a heart operation to get a few weeks off. He was my hero after that.
