Excuses Archives
The Train Was Late
Mitsubishi is developing a system that will automatically download real-time information about train and subway delays as well as estimated time of arrival whenever you wave your cellphone in front of it. Apparently, this system—which will be installed by the train car doors—is also capable of uploading a “delay certificate” to the phone. Then you will be able show it at work when you arrive late, instead of just saying that your grandfather died again, as usual. If you live in Japan, that is. Elsewhere you’ll keep killing grandpa until he is 245 years old.
Early Refill
I don’t care if both yours and the pharmacies records show it’s ten days early for my refill, one of you is lying.
Newspaper
Please excuse Mary for missing school yesterday. We forgot to get the Sunday paper off the porch, and when we found it Monday, we thought it was Sunday.
Blink
I’m sorry I was late to work. My right hand blinker is broken and I had to make left hand turns all the way here.
Execute
My son is under a doctor’s care and should not take P.E. today. Please execute him.
Pregnancy
I’m sorry I can’t come into work today. My wife is going to get pregnant and I want to be there.
