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?

My neighbourswere jetting off to Florida to get married just a week or two ago...
So being the cautious types they call the Virgin holidays wedding co-ordinator to check everything was ok for the following day....
the reply..."Err, why aren't you on the plane now?"
Turns out they were a day late for their holiday/wedding and ended up forking out a few thousand for replacement tickets for themselves plus wedding guests. Ooops.
The excuse... "well it says tomorrow in my diary...".
