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?

I usually hate to be late but...I stayed at Mr Goddess house (in the days before we lived together) which was a 30-40 min drive from my house. Didnt usually stay mid week but it was his birthday. Woke up to a good covering of snow. As usual, the wankness of the weather (2 snow flakes and a bit of a nip in the air is all that does it these days eh?) caused the entire country to colapse in on itself gently sobbing and moaning that it couldnt cope. I get to work an hour late and apologise using the snow and the closure of several roads as my excuse (and the truth).
My boss says 'But you only live in the next road round the corner.'
I do, and it took a bit of explaining but I did get believed in the end.
Apologies for shitness and lack of humour, its the best you'll be getting from me on this QOTW.
