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?

Dropping the kids off at the poolWhen work used to be right next door *shudders*, I used to leave it right to the last moment to get ready for work, and theoretically still get to my desk on time...
...Only this never happened. There was a pub just down the driveway from where I live and worked.. which got frequented every evening until kicking out time or off to town and and gawp at student types... yum!
...anyways, I'd sometimes decide to have a bit more of a lay in or just forget to set my alarm due to having the odd pint too many and use the excuse that I had chronic bowel movements, which because it was quite grim, never got frowned upon as the other option would be for me to use the office's toilets, which then stinks the whole office out...
Thus! I could get a little extra shut eye and couldn't get bollocked for it, especially when the bosses had paid for the beer I had the night before!!
Though happily I'm always on time these days.. the company has moved several miles away (so I now drive there so no heavy drinking the night before) and I rarely drink so karma has done it's thing and balanced everything out :)
