WILDEST EXCUSE : ARGENTINE MAN TELLS WIFE HE WAS ABDUCTED
The Journal of Hispanic Ufology (!) ^ | 6th January, 2005 | Scott Corrales

From : Inexplicata - The Journal of Hispanic Ufology

A cab driver from the city of La Plata told his wife that he was abducted by a "Flying Saucer". His wife filed a report and the Justice Department and Police intervened.

The excuse offered by a taxi driver from La Plata may soon go into the Guinness Book of Records as the wildest in the world.

It all started yesterday morning, when a desperate woman appeared at the 6th Sheriff's Office of the provincial capital to report that her husband had been abducted by aliens traveling aboard a UFO. This prompted the intervention of a judge, a district prosecutor and the Police.

After several searches and hours of anguish, the wife appeared before the authorities and claimed to have solved the case: "He phoned me from Quilmes and told me had been taken by a flying saucer."

In this way theft or kidnapping by "Earthlings" was discarded as a possibility.

According to the woman, this is not the first time that her husband has experienced these intergalactic abductions: the cabbie has vanished on several occasions and when he appears, he claims to have been abducted by flying saucers.

Strangest of all is that when he returns home from his space odysseys, his breath smells of wine. This eventually led the wife to suspect that the aliens have their base of operations in some wine cellar in the province of Mendoza.

Good thing Mr. Gun hasn't tried this one. However, I did fall for the "stopped-to-help-a-gang-of-old-ladies-with-their-broken-down-motorcycles" trick....but only once.....

"He phoned me from Quilmes"

More like he phoned from inside a bottle of Quilmes.

I knew a kid at school who had five grandmothers. He was always going to funerals and informing the different teachers that was why his assignments were late or nonexistent.

Obviously, the aliens were torturing him, plying him for information by pouring wine down his throat...

Call home at 3:00 AM and say, "Don't pay the ransom, dear, I've escaped!", I mean who hasn't tried that one at least once.

Little green men will be coming around to your house very soon to take you to Planet Tequila. The sunrises there are meant to be mind-blowing.

So, what's the big deal? This same thing happens to me every Friday about 5:30 pm after I get paid. The aliens always drop me off on my doorstep every Saturday about noon so I really don't mind. I always keep forgetting to bring my camera, though, so I can show my wife what they look like.
