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?

The voicemail I left for work at 5AM after the Christmas party"I'm very sorry, but I don't think I'll be in this morning. I ended up going to my friends house after the Christmas party to get a taxi, you know, the friend who had been teaching everyone to belly dance, and we accidentally stayed up until 5 and I might be in this afternoon but I don't think so. Maybe. I've been quite ill. I think I'm ill. I'm sorry.. it was really bad..."
Needless to say I didn't make it in for the afternoon, but the upside of working for my not-exactly-overloaded-with-workplace is that no-one batted an eye.
