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?

The trick is convincing them......that you're carrying out something important. My personal best was when I worked in a brewery, and used to spend all day carrying ice around. If anyone stopped me I would remind them that the ice was melting and my hand was cold. Borrowed from Scott Adams (the guy who draws Dilbert) but, in that environment, stunningly effective! They used to roll over and let me run.
