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?

Further to belowI used to work for a hotel chain associated with drunken american sluts (not mentioning any names here!), and towards the end, I just got bored of the late shifts, long hours, no appreciation, yada yada yada.
So i used the below excuse a couple of times, "the RAF called me in for duty" (as I was a student pilot in the RAF at the time), to plain "when I last looked at the rota, I wasn't meant to be on. Who changed the rota, and why wasn't I phoned?!".
I missed that many shifts that I got a letter from HR saying "You've not worked in weeks, let us know whether you want to still work here or not?" I phoned them up and said "of course I still want to work there, schedule me some more shifts these next 2 weeks", which I worked 1/6 of, and then handed in my notice!
Bunch of arseholes!
Agreed, length jokes are shit, but mines longer than below
