Is the joke that someone actually read all of those? o_O
I actually did a longer version of this, the teacher bought it!
I forgot a HW assignment. Simultaneously, a bonfire finishing off an old dead tree log had burned out the other night. I went down, scooped up some ashes in a Ziploc bag, and the following conversation ensued in 6th period:
"Tim, got your homework?"
"Well, sort of. See, my mom had a friend over, and her friend lit up... *pause* well, an ash fell off, and... long story short... *holds up bag* my homework was cremated."
I leave you to imagine the hilarity that ensued... and my A...
Oh yeah, I read all of it.
A lot of those excuses suck hard. e.g. "One day i didnt go to skool and the teacher found out lol". I mean.. *sigh*
Anyway, I don't really have any good ones off the top of my head. However, since my class has been together quite a while (12 years) we have a good collection of in jokes. One of them stretching back to when we were 8 and one of us wasn't at school when our dear old teacher called the role. When the teacher asked if he was sick she got some kids saying yes and others no.
Eventually.. Somehow.. the message got across that he was "On the thing". Like in refrence to a school trip or something ("On the inter-schools swimming trip").
And from then on if somebody is sick, on a trip or wagging we use the cover: "He/she's on the thing". The teachers often look puzzled and futher attempts to find the real reason always fail.
But now "On the thing" is starting to creep into other areas.. such as homework. "Where's your homework?" "Sorry, last night I was on the thing".

Yes, I read them all too.
Quite a few of them made me think: If you'd gone to school instead, you might have learnt to spell!
God, I'm old.

That's fantastic!
Also, I had food poisoning that lead to kidney failure (was cured quickly though) but I got off P.E. for three years with the same excuse! "Please excuse Lewis from P.E. activities because if he runs his kidney might explode"
