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?

Kids these days need to be more creativeWay back when I was in high school I came to the conclusion that while my parent's signatures were all over the enrollment paperwork held up at the office, and therefore would be used to spot forgeries, they had no record of any other members of my family.
So, I spent about six months taking random mornings / afternoons / whole days off with the excuse that my uncle was getting married, and required me to be at a suit fitting / rehearsal / requiring some help with preparations. And I always had a note to back up my claims, of course.
