Reasons For Not Coming To Work (More Strange But True Humor)

Reasons For Not Coming To Work

The following responses have been collected from the web -- the best excuses for not coming into work!

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

- 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.

- 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 Wal-Mart.

- 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 AT&T, but thank you for calling.

- Constipation has made me a walking time bomb.

- I just found out that I was switched at birth. Legally, I shouldn't come in 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.

- My mother-in-law 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.

- My wife makes more money than I do, so I have to stay at home with our sick son.

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

- I'm feeling a little disgruntled this morning. You sure I should come in?
