Excuses, Excuses

A story from CNN.com this morning lists some off the wall excuses that people give for missing work.

My personal favorites include:

While at a circus, a tiger urinated on the employee's ear, causing an ear infection.

An employee was upset because his favorite American Idol contestant was voted off.

An employee said he wasn't feeling well and wanted to rest up for the company's holiday party that night.

For the rest of the list, go here.
