3. "The dog ate my alarm clock"

It's worth a shot!

6. One of my students once told me their dog ate their violin...

and that's why they didn't practice. I rolled my eyes and thought, "Yeah. Right kid."

But when he opened his case up, his fiddle had little tooth marks all over it. Apparently the dog had managed to detach the neck from the body of the instrument. I laughed til my stomach hurt!

Car keys is a good one...You'd have to wait until the dog made poo and you could get the key out, and the boss wouldn't likely want to hear about it.

4. "I slept through the alarm -- luckily it was only a small fire"

Though that might worry them enough to check up on you, so better not use it.

7. I've had employees tell me they got drunk..

and was too hung over to come in. I've never thought that this was a good excuse but I've heard it more than once.

8. Say you came under the evil spell of Dick Chenney...

That he sucked your soul right out of your body and you couldn't leave the house until you got it back from the great beyond...

Or you could just say you ate some bad Squid....

9. I would say...

You know, "I was up late, drinking alcohol, having fun on Democratic Underground. I'm late, and????? What the fuck are you going to do about it." I think that would be cool. Let me know how that goes.
