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?

Sorry for making you lateI once called up a mate to apologise for making him late for a football match and to tell him I'd be missing the game so could he flog my ticket (which he had on him)?
I was calling from the central reservation, where I'd crawled after being knocked off my motorbike and run over.
He said not to worry, he was in town already having a pie and pint and was I sure I'd miss the game cos he could hang on for me.
No, I was pretty sure cos my leg was broken - the biggest clue being I could almost touch my right knee with my right foot - and I was waiting for an ambulance.
And the next time I saw another mate, all he did was complain that he missed kickoff cos he was stuck in the tailback caused by my accident. Cheers.
Now I'm late with an assignment because I haven't been able to concentrate since Tuesday because my girlfriend thought she was going to be early - 12 weeks early in fact. Still struggling with the assignment but I now know loads about preterm survival rates (around 80% at 28 weeks and 91% at 29 weeks so keep him in there a few days longer.)
Edit: turns out to have been a false alarm, thank fuck.
