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?

Not me, but...... one of my pupils, late for my lesson.
Did the expected glare, 'Why are you late?' (as if I was actually missing him being there or something) and, for good measure, 'And where's your tie?' (like I gave a shit whether he had a tie or not). Anyway, his answer is worth sharing.
"I was on my way to school, and I was on time and wearing my tie. As I was walking past the building site, all the builders sudden went mental and started throwing bricks at this old lady who was nearby. So I had to protect her by fighting all the mad builders, and that's what made me late. Also, the old lady's leg was broken by one of the bricks, so I used my tie to make her a splint."
I gave him a merit mark for originality.
