What's the worst excuse you've ever heard?

Wow! that is rather funny considering the alternatives that are already out for fuel.

Obviously, from my school days, I've heard some rather interesting ones from classmates who were trying to make up excuses about why they did not get their homework done. I'm sure I have heard more than I can remember but a couple of them rather stick out my head in the absurdity department as I am rather not sure anyone would have ever bothered to believe it. One person said that he was feeding his pet fish, as he was doing his homework. Then he dropped it right into the fish tank and his pet fish ate his homework. I wish I was making this up. And there was the kid who tried to get off by saying that someone robbed their house and stole his homework. Yeah, they bypassed the jewelry and the electronics and whatever, because that thief was crazy about fractions. I'm sure there were many more but those were stuck in my head.

Oh, that's a wonderful gem lol. I've heard several good ones, too. We've all heard the, "I was an adventurer too, until I took an arrow to the knee" one, right? -cough- It's a Skyrim reference, if you haven't. All the NPCs (non player characters) say that for some reason and it gets really old and annoying and now people think it's cool to use the "I was such and such until I took an arrow to the knee" thing online (which is even more annoying than the video game). My favorite excuse: "God did it." A classmate of mine actually used this as the answer to a question during anthropology. Needless to say, they didn't get a good grade on that question. But at least the professor found it funny!

This was just the chuckle I needed tonight. I was feeling bored and a bit down, but reading these poor excuses has me laughing now. I wish I could think of some of the bad excuses I've heard in my lifetime, but sadly, they escape me at the moment. I have to admit though, the helicopter pilot excuse is very original. What happens when 10 years have passed those fossil fuels are still there though? Wonder what the new excuse will be?

I've got one. It was from my family's previous neighbors from across the street actually. I thought it was pretty funny. It went something like this. "Why won't you help me (Insert your own name here)?" And the fellow replied. "Because I don't want to." I mean wha-? I mean I'm not quite sure what they were up to (And I'm not the type to check)but that sounded pretty lame. I don't know, but for me that kind of thing wouldn't fly.
