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 favourite excuseused to travel by motorbike to work. arrived late, was questioned as to why.
Cited the following "I ran over a puppy on the way in or at least I thought I did. When I went back to check it turned out to be a small sliced loaf of bread"
Simple but great
Other enjoyable excuse when working in Switzerland..
"Sneep, you're late"
"No I'm not, you're just overly punctual. I think that's a Swiss thing"
I'm very proud of also having a unit of time named after me on account of always being late. The Sneep Minute.
In Context :-
Person: "When will you be in?"
Me: "I'll be there in a minute"
Person: "Is that a normal minute or a Sneep Minute?"
Aim low, underachieve.
