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?

PowercutI think i used the 'powercut' excuse a few times at school and it seemed to work, so it was filed away under 'excuses likely to succeed' for future use.
So turning up for work two hours late one day, upon being pounced upon my the total gargoyle of a boss i panicked and pulled the first thing i could find from my excuses file.
"Sorry, there was a powercut in my area and it reset my alarm"
*short pause* - boss reaches for the phone and dails an extension.
"Did we have reports of a powercut last night? hmmm... ok, i see, thanks"
Shit, i'd forgoten i worked for british gas... the people i pay my electricity bill to. busted.
