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?

how the other half livesgot head hunted the other day. decided not to go for the interview because i am v happy in my firm and because i couldn't realistically see how i was going to make an excuse to get all the way into the city from uxbridge and back without wasting annual leave or being really really late for work.
so i was relating this dilemma at the pub and my friend steve who's an investment banker said, "yeah i know exactly what you mean. the other day i had an interview in new york but i didn't want my boss to know so i had to pretend to him i was in zurich and set all my emails and clocks and phone calls 3 hours early."
oh yeah, that's exactly the same. i can see that this is very irrelevant, but felt the need to rant really.
