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?

tardyurban myth probably:
4 students decide to go away the weekend before they all have an important medical exam on the monday. Waking up very hungover on the other side of the country on the monday morning they realise that there is no chance whatsoever of making it home that day, never mind in time for the exam. Phoning the professor, one of them explains that they have had a flat tyre with no spare and are still many hundreds of miles away and have been stuck all night.....could they possibly all take the exam tomorrow.. purlease!
The professor grudgingly allows it and they all duly turn up the next morning after driving all day to get back.
As the exam room is unavailable, they are seated in 4 separate offices, alone and no chance of contact between them. The exam is delivered to them and they start. The front page states that the exam consists of 2 questions, the first worth 10%, and the 2nd, worth 90%. With relief, they all handle question 1 with ease, it being on a topic they had all studied comfortably.
Question 2 was "Which tyre?"
