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?

Why I was lateThis story is not about me,it concerns a young apprentice who I used to work with maybe 10-12 years ago.
Now,said person was not the brightest,constantly irritating our foreman with his sheer stupidity and incompetence.
One stormy morning,lashing rain,thunder and lightning,the young lad appears at about 10:30,after the storm has died down.
"Where the fuck have you been" demanded our exasperated foreman,
"My dad looked out of the window and said,only a fucking idiot would go out in that weather" came the reply
Cue disbelieving looks from eveyone in the work as the hapless youngster was hauled into the office for a final warning.
He didn't last much longer.
