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?

Smurf AbuseWe had a book at school which you had to complete if you were late, stating the reason for lateness. My favourite, which my mate completed with a straight face and which was never commented on, was "Met a smurf".
A guy I used to work with was often late. One day, he turned up three hours late. When asked why, he explained "There were signalling problems...".
"Oh, OK", says my boss.
"Yes, signalling problems in the alarm clock area".
