Missed a deadline - or didn't get to work at all? Forgot to pick up your mother-in-law? Whatever the situation, you've got the justification...thousands of them. These witty excuses are medical and meteorological, nonsensical and proverbial. Some are arranged by topic, while others are meant for the wronged person, be it an employer, teacher, or spouse. It's a great gift that anyone can use. The book is broken down into: Medical Excuses - I was sleepwalking, I have a chemical imbalance, My contact lenses have been in backwards all day, I'm on my way to the hospital - I have coffee burns on my lap, I fell asleep in the sun and I can't put on my clothes, etc Meteorological Excuses - It was foggy and I missed the building, There was so much humidity that my front door was swollen, There was a leak in the mailbox and all my bills floated away, etc Nonsensical Excuses - I did my own thing, now I have to undo it, I never go out on days that end in 'Y', I have no matching socks, etc
