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?

There's a body under the train...Was on the subway, and apparently someone decided that getting hit by the B train (Brighton Express) was a good way to start the morning for his fellow NY'ers. It was not. And considering that I work for the said transit authority, I kept my mouth shut. I didnt want to have to see the red stain of what was a man scrambled on the tracks. I was a good 90 minutes late. Boss was like - nothing you could have done. NYPD needed to go through and take statements. "Did you get hurt? Did you hear anything?" Now that might be true that someone would have heard something in the first 3 or 4 cars, but since I was in the last car - Ummm No.
