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 friend johad a dinner party last christmas. 16 of us were invited, including her. knowing jo has her own time (and her own planet for most of that), i turned up at 8 instead of 7.
only to find 14 pissed off friends freezing on the doorstep.
she was late for her OWN PARTY!!
she arrived 2 mins after me, panting and asking if we'd been waiting long. i said that i had only just arrived so i was fine. then my friend tab spoke up drily:
"i was naive. i was here early."
great night but god, if i had been cooking for 16 people i'd have been panicking about it for weeks. gotta admire her laidbackness really. anyway, her excuse?
"there was a party down the road i thought i should check out first..."
