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?

pulledMany years ago, I worked shifts in a call centre for a well known paging company. It were crap.
Anyway, regular excuses were things like (deliberately) turning up for the wrong shift if I didn't want to do the scheduled one and claiming I was confused by the rota.
Best one though was ringing up at 8 o'clock in the morning to ask my Geordie boss if I could have a day's holiday that day.
Why? he asks not unreasonably.
Well, I reply, I pulled last night and she's really cute, so I don't want to get out of bed.
The cool thing was, all he said was OK, see you tomorrow.
