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?

One of my staff members sets a record.I run bars, and as such have a very diverse range of staff who all seem to have their own unique quirks and perversions. There is one standout clown though, who usually turned up half an hour late or so every shift. He took the cake when he turned up 3 days! late for work.
His excuse - "I had a couple of drinks and thought tomorrow was last week."
Winner.
One of his other personal bests - after turning up 4 hours late for shift - "I left the house wearing my missus' jeans and only realised when I was 5 minutes away."
