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?

Another one from the Sam archives...During year 11 in high school i had a bit of a...problem...what with getting to school on time. A very big problem. A humungous problem of gargantuan proportions. To put it short i had 89 lates during the year out of 200 something days. Y'see the bus company are a load of twats who won't even let you on the bus for childs fare even if you happen to be wearing your fucking school uniform. They pay no attention to this as i don't look my age. I was told i looked like i was in my 20's, when/if they eventually let me on the bus (OK, a downer for getting to school, but i was free to roam the pub landscape). Occasionally i had to go home and grab some money out of my savings purely so i could get to school by paying the adult fare, which was frankly shite as my family was always low on cash.
So on parents evening that year my form teacher (good guy), told my mum about the problem, and I nodded in agreement and told them why i had been late to school so many times that year. My teacher offered me advice to get a bus pass to make travel more efficient.
Anyway, after a hefty scolding from mother I promised i would get a bus pass. Another slight problem: I didn't know how to get one. I asked my parents if they could help me get a pass as i had no idea where/how to get one. "OK Son, we'll drive you up to town on the weekend to get one, don't worry". After numerous delays they finally agreed to take me up on a specified date. A week before I left the school forever.
Fucking time wasting cunts.
