If it is all the same to you I won't be coming in to work. The voices told me to clean all the guns today.

I have a rare case of 48-hour projectile leprosy, but I know we have that deadline to meet...

Constipation has made me a walking time bomb.

When I got up this morning I took two Ex-Lax in addition to my Prozac. I can't get off the john, but I feel good about it.

I set half the clocks in my house ahead an hour and the other half back an hour Saturday and spent 18 hours in some kind of space-time continuum loop, reliving Sunday (right up until the explosion). I was able to exit the loop only by reversing the polarity of the power source exactly e*log(pi) clocks in the house while simultaneously rapping my dog on the snout with a rolled up Times. Accordingly, I will be in late, or early.

My stigmata's acting up.

I can't come in to work today because I'll be stalking my previous boss, who fired me for not showing up for work. OK?

I am stuck in the blood pressure machine down at the Food Giant.

Yes, I seem to have contracted some attention-deficit disorder and, hey, how about them Skins, huh? So, I won't be able to, yes, could I help you? No, no, I'll be sticking with Sprint, but thank you for calling.

I just found out that I was switched at birth. Legally, I shouldn't come to work knowing my employee records may now contain false information.

The psychiatrist said it was an excellent session. He even gave me this jaw restraint so I won't bite things when I am startled.

The dog ate my car keys. We're going to hitchhike to the vet.

I prefer to remain an enigma.

My step other has come back as one of the Undead and we must track her to her coffin to drive a stake through her heart and give her eternal peace. One day should do it.

I can't come to work today because the EPA has determined that my house is completely surrounded by wetlands and I have to arrange for helicopter transportation.

I am converting my calendar from Julian to Gregorian.

I am extremely sensitive to a rise in the interest rates.

I refuse to travel to my job in the District until there is a commuter tax. I insist on paying my fair share.

I've used up all my sick days...so I'm calling in dead!

Ya know, you really shouldn't give people ideas that get their imaginations going [img]smile.gif[/img]
After I read this the first thing that popped into my head was;
"What do you mean I didn't show up for work yesterday. I was sitting right here at my desk working my rear end off. I even closed several very important accounts. Or maybe I just slept all day and dreamed that I was at work".

Wow!! I thought I was the only one who had ever used that excuse! Go figure :D

I remember a looong time ago I worked at this office, and there was this guy that worked there, named "Darby". He played bass guitar in a band on the side. He called in absent from work more than any human on this earth LOL. Would, though, get all his previous "excuses" mixed up at times. I know, cause I used to answer the phones then, so I was the one who took his calls and relayed them to his boss. One he used frequently LOL, was:

*I have had a terrible morning. Went outside in the freezing cold winter to get the morning paper, and the door closed behind me, and I could not get back inside my house. Just wrapped in a towel! Neighbors took me in after I kept knocking at their door. Had to call a locksmith but I don't have much money to pay for one. So I have a friend I know who can do it, will show up at my house he says around 2:00 or 3:00pm, so most likely, I won't be in today. Man this sucks!* [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Got lots of laughs from that guy.. :D

"The doctor gave me some new medications yesterday. Unfortunately, one causes diahrea and the other causes a cough. It's a heck of a mess."
