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?

SwansI used to work in a call centre for BT as the monkey who did the stats. Not proud of it, but hey. Anyhoo, as part of this job I had to collate people's reasons for being late. Funniest was a woman who had to wait for her tights to dry in the radiator before coming into work 2 hours late.
Oddest was a woman who was struck by a low flying swan as she crossed a bridge in the centre of town.
Oh and width, girth, length, etc...
