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?

Always double check your exam datesA trainee accountant I know of was running late for an ACCA exam, they last for 3 hours and they still let you in within the first hour so she decided to turn up anyway.
When she got to the exam centre the place was empty, so she checked her exam docket and surprise-surprise, the exam had been on the previous day.
I just love the fact that she was 25 hours late for an exam, it sounds like something Homer would say, "Gotta run, i'm 25 hours late for an exam!"
