Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, ever argues with diarrhea

My work did. the boss asked how many bathrooms in my house?
then told me that we have alot more then that here, come on in.

[The Duke]

I have an employee very much like the one you described.
Her marginal work ethic is reflected in her rate of
compensation. I’m not sure she even appreciates that, it’s
costing her a fortune.

I think my best excuses for missing work have.

My car caught on fire on the way to work. (1/2 day)
Freeway closed because of snow. (I worked in Palm Springs at the time.)

I actually could not get to work one time because of the garage door. The spring broke. No one was going anywhere.

[Vaduz]

Post anal drip must be a real problem,bet nobody asks to use his chair.

I had a girl call in last summer because she couldn’t find her car! She had gone to a big party on Saturday night and didn’t remember where she parked her car. The excuse didn’t fly with me and after a write-up and a long talk about priorities, she doesn’t call in anymore.

i’ve called in or left early and told my boss i was taking sick time because i was sick of work.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Apparently, he didn’t like the idea of someone wearing a three-piece suit without socks.

Or maybe he had a heart?

Been there, done that. When that spring goes the door isn't moving.

Then there was the day we had a strong storm roll through... some co-workers were trapped because the alleys and streets were full of downed trees and fences. I have about 8 ways to get out of the neighborhood... only one path was open.

Then tell him to set you up with a phone line and computer access within 20 feet of the bathroom like it is in your house. Otherwise, he might need to buy a new office chair for you. :-)

[Married with Children]

That was one of the best moments! I also liked when they were driving through the mall and he said ever so calmly something to the effect of the new Oldsmobiles being out early this year. I’m gonna have to buy that movie.

[Political Junkie Too]

"He also had the misfortune of losing all his grandparents -- 12 of them -- during a two-year period."

It could work if it takes a village to raise a child, but I don't think I'd want to live in THIS village.
