The Best Excuses Wouldn't it be great if we could all know all the coolest excuses? Homework, classes, heck, even school! Why bother when you can excuse yourself out of anything. If anyone knows any absolutely cool and original excuses, post them, as well as what to use them for. For example, I once know a girl who has an artificial leg.

Why not, "Ms/Mrs/Mr teacher,
Why not, "Ms/Mrs/Mr teacher, Wikipedia said I may have cancer. May I be excused?"
"Who is more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?"
"I did the assignment soo
"I did the assignment soo well, that the government had to take it away.
"if it's wierd, then i done it right."
If you've missed a day of school...
"You see, I really did go to school yesterday it's just you're suffering from short term memory loss so you think I wasn't here."
"I wasn't in school yesterday because I thought it was Saturday and noone was there to tell me it was really Monday."

About the homework...
I couldn't come yesterday because i spent the entire day trying to get my dumb dog to eat my homework.

"I really wanted to my homework since you know how I am an A+ student (snickering in background). But Aliens invaded the community and wrecked it. I tried to fight them but they shot me and I just had surgery yesterday night. You all should be happy I survived and celebrating. Let's skip this boring lesson and go to the Bahamas in order of my recovery."
Th ol' Yoda Trick
(speaks calmly) "You never gave us homework" (waves hands a bit) "We don't need homework" (waves again)
Suddenly jump up and point to the window, yelling "What the flip is that!!!!!" (Teacher turns to look, student shoots out the classroom door and hides in locker room until end of period).

This is not an excuse, per
This is not an excuse, per se, but you could relate everything the teacher says to a vast conspiracy theory to remove our constitutional rights and construct a more efficient Carnivore.
I've been watching Joan of Arcadia today, so yeah...my thoughts kind of have this rebellious tint right now.
