INTRODUCTION:
If there is one thing that we are not short of-we are
not short of excuses. You have websites that help you
come up with excuses for everything. They will give you
excuses for missing school; laying out of work; overdrawn
bank accounts; calling off your wedding; excuses if you

One person called in to work: "I developed an alternative

One person text her boss: "Not feeling well. I ate too
many beans last night...will explain later."
*A woman in New Zealand had been driving for 25 years
