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 swear this is true.One day on my way to school on the good old 147 bus, we were halfway along the southern stretch of the road my school's on when a drunk walked into the road in front of the bus.
The bus driver beeped at him, as you would, and the drunk took offence and started swearing at the bus driver.
The bus driver just honked his horn (ho ho) more and more, exacerbating things, so the drunk went up to the front of the bus and latched onto one of the big fuckoff windscreen-wipers it's got. He pulled on it for fifteen minutes before a police siren sounded in the distance and he legged it.
I got to school, my tutor said, why were you late? I replied, well, a drunk tried to steal the windscreen wipers of the bus I was on.
He gave me detention.
He also once gave me detention for saying I was late because "it was raining so I went back to sleep" which, in retrospect, was fair enough.
