God, I can relate to that.

I wouldn't have the b*lls to try this:

A co-worker, who was supposed to work the night shift after a seven-day break, called in to work that afternoon, while on a trans-Atlantic flight returning from Europe. Thought we'd all be impressed that he was using the Airphone to call the plant.

The old 'flat tire ' has come up a few times. A former co-worker's grandmother (the same one) passed away 3 times in an 18 month period(I know this one's off-topic but c'mon).  My personal fave is sleeping through the alarm.

Well the best excuse I have ever heard was by a Tech who called in and said he was dead. Later at another time the same tach called in and told the station Tech that there was only 13 duck billed platypus in the world and one of them just crashed landed in his front yard and that he would not be in because he had to take it to the vet. As for myself I just ended up being so hung over I ended up calling in late and then sick on a day that I had Vacation.

Don't know if this one counts since it is true and not made up.
Caught up in post 911 security checkpoint backups and traffic jams. When I get to site boundary 20 mins early and still am late for work, quite the cluster.  :P Has happened to me several times.
