[*]My monkey died. Well i said my cat died, but whatever

Couldnt you just be like... yeah my whole family died on some plane over the Pacific Ocean... I dunno why they had to have the reunion in the family boeing, but yeah any survivors were most likely eaten my sharks so I am going to have to attend a funeral about 200 miles off coast of California so I will be gone for a few days.
OR! if all else fails just call in and say that you died and wont be able to make it.... trust me it works ...okay maybe you shouldnt try it.... but w/e

What about "I'm sick"

haha.... nah what u should do is tell stories like u were attacked by a tomato bomber or something. Ur whole windshield was full of tomatos so u couldnt see anything anymore and therefore u had an accident

Or how about you went to the taxidermist to see about getting your grandma stuffed but she flew out of the back of your truck on the way there and you had to go cruising the highway and find your deceased grandma

These were the silly excuses used over the past years on a article in msn.com had to share!

well some of them definetely deserve the name "silliest excuse"
but "i forgot what day it was" is kinda lame.

"I'm sorry I can't come in to work today. I have been vomiting blood all over the place, and I've been passing terrible gas that could kill a grizzly. Mind if I take the day off? ...You want me to take the whole month off? Well, if you insist..."

lol I think you would probably be laid-off if you were this blatant with your boss

lol, my fave is "I Eloped" that would work wouldnt it

How about I was just diagnosed with a rare STD that is airbourne, doctors say it should clear up soon but yeah it makes your manhood turn green and stuff

"A hitman was looking for me."

This one just makes me lol

lol that is pretty funny... obviously a very bad hitman lol

thats the best one

That's one of the ones I've used. It was genuine though. I also couldn't go in once because I got my dog tags stuck in a bra.

Ever try calling in and saying "I'm dead..."? Doesn't go over too well....

well i wonder why....

Better not "kill" the whole family. If you only "kill" one of them, then you can "kill" another next time you don't want to go to work... But better not do it very often since it's rather unbelievable that someone from your family is dying every week...

..than they come in... undead relitive

no just like in this new movie, i think its called "white noise"
the dead will tell you to stay away from work today
or they scare you so much u fall unconcious and cant come to work or you get a shock or something and hve to see the doctor
