    Best Excuse for Being Late?

    One of the best I heard was when I was living in Spain. An English friend of mine was arrested while going to work on a train because the Police mistook him for someone else. They let him go a few hours later, but try explaining that to your customer!

    Very easy to prove though!
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

    I got told by an employee once she was sorry for being late again, but her budgie had fallen off its perch and broken a leg. The vet wasnt available and she had to go to the shop to buy some matches and cotton and set the poor bird's leg in a make shift splint........

    Well, what do you think?

    While living in Austin, I took a co-worker to the Minor Emergency Center because, after a "sleepover" he had zipped himself up in his pants. Since I was his supervisor, it was a hard story to dispute.

    Well, to clarify just a bit, he had a iron-clad alibi at work, but the interrogation I got at the hospital was pretty rough.
