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?

Once upon a time, when I were a lad... and working at a sh1tty company I hated, where I was regularly late in due to wanting to spend as little time there as possible, I woke up one morning and realised I'd used up all the excuses I knew.
So when I finally dragged myself in that morning, I announced "Sorry I'm late - I got sucked into a time warp on the way here."
They'd obviously never had to deal with an excuse like this before, so they said (and did) nothing.
Happily I don't work there any more. Nor does anybody else - it's gone tits up.
