What is the most outrageous excuse for not coming into work that you have ever heard?

I've heard some pretty outrageous ones, and a lot of just outright unbelievable ones. Just last week, a guy that works a friend of mine was two hours late because "he suspected that he was being followed and had to create several diversions and circle the block numerous times in order to lose his alleged stalker." lol...um, ok. What are some of the most hilarious, outright absurd not coming to work today excuses that you have ever heard?

A co-worker of mine once called in explaining a death in the family, his grandmother, as an excuse for a 3 day absense forgetting his brother worked in a different division of our company.

He could have at least convinced his brother to take a few days off too so the story would pan out. Instead the guy who showed up for work had to deal with condolences all day, and actually thought his grandmother really died and no one told him.

My husbands co-worker has a serious case of "calling in for lame reasons." Last week she called in and said that her cousins, friends, dog had some blood dripping from his eye, and she was the only person that could save the dog because her car was big enough to transport the dog to the vet.

Ummmm... seriously?

Some people think their made up stories that take an hour to explain, soundsreal because of the over use of detail they decide to throw in.
