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?

Mori... I mean, where I workAre very strict about you being off.
I've been off sick four times since last September and have been told that if I'm sick again before next September I will be disciplined.
Nice. So as I'm lying there ill, I will be safe in the knowledge that my work hates me and I'm going to be punished.
As for excuses? I have always been easy prey to very sore headaches that result in me throwing up (recently discovered these are migraines) and they sometimes catch me off guard leaving me unfit to move, nevermind work.
When I get back no one believes me. So telling the truth doesn't seem to work.
I'll be keeping an eye out for some choice excuses here and trying them next time my head is exploding!
