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?

An ex-colleague of minekept his watch set permanently 15 minutes fast, yet he was still always 15 minutes late for every meeting. He used to arrive all hot and flustered, which is hardly surprising as by his watch he was half an hour late.
He really needed to get up half an hour early one morning, just to put his life back on schedule.
Personally, I can't live like that. I prefer to go by the old agricultural tradition:
Early to bed, and up with the cock in the morning.
