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?

I was abducted by aliensI arrived an hour and a half late, went right to the boss and said "Sorry I'm late, I was abducted by aliens." He weakly replied "I know".
I was a poker dealer, coming to the casino for the 2:30 shift change. A big rig jackknifed and rolled on the freeway, right before the offramp for work. The road was completely blocked for nearly two hours. I was one of 17 dealers who missed shift change. When I finally got to the dealer coordinator and made the joke above, he was neither amused nor disgusted, just wearily resigned.
