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 late due to car trouble a few years back.......when i drove a Mini.
I woked in a garage, so i knew full and well that lying about mechanical issues would be foolish, so i never did lie.
"We M.O.T'd your car last week Mr.Pollitt, i know full and well that there is nothing wrong with your car" said boss-man as he proceeded to give me a written warning for my lateness.
I spent the day being annoyed becasue i was, for once, being honest. My car was buggered and i wouldn't start that morning and drove at a top speed of 8.6mph all the way into work when it did start.
5.30pm rolls around, i leave....in a huff. Get in my Mini, which then promptly burst into flames.
Fireman reckond if i'd have had my seatbelt on i wouldn't have got out of the car in time.
Boss man gave me full use of a company vehicle and retracted my warning the next day. Wanker.

Length? Girth? None...it was a mini.
