I once missed a class on a day I was supposed to give a speech (and as it was a public speaking course it was kind of a big deal), and the next class the professor asked me what happened. I said, "Well, here's what happened. My alarm clock went off at 10:30, and I looked at it, and I said, 'Why on earth am I getting up at 10:30? Stagecraft class isn't until two!' and angrily went back to bed." He was so impressed with my candor that he didn't penalize me for giving the speech late. It's like the time my best friend and I got out of an alcohol violation by telling campus security that yes, they could certainly check the fridge, but it's full of alcohol and they'd never be able to carry it all back to their office. They had absolutely no idea how to handle that sort of honesty, and let us off with a warning.
The truth shall set you free.
