What's The Best Excuse To Get Out Off Work?

[Crazy Horse]

When there's nothing wrong with you and you want to go fishing, what would be your best excuse to get out of work?

 

[klenger]

1) Vision probelms, ... can't see going to work.



2) Hope your boss is a fisherman and invite him (her) along.



3) Fishing is not a matter of life and death, it's much more important than that.

Diarrhea - whenever you mention it... people just cringe and usually don't continue the conversation any further.

Just remember... when you make the call to tell your boss you're sick... make sure to shut off the boat engine... and hope there are no seagulls squaking or waves slapping against the hull!!



Don't know why I thought of that



OHHHH and keep the sun off your face... can't get a sunburn while your sitting on the can!!

oh yes you can, if you are creative :-laf... i have myself sat in wood thunder box at a cottage that was south/south-east facing the lake that had a big glass skylite and had a dutch door on it, so your lower half was covered, but you could have the top door open... made for some nice sun rises while reading some old archie comics there... :-laf

The best excuse I have ever heard was "My mother's tongue swelled up and I had to take her to the hospital. "

Phil,check this one out,my main fishing buddy and I were on the river knockin the crap out of the steelhead. So he calls his boss and says " Yeah this is Mike I'm cramping pretty bad and I won't be in tomorrow" I thought I was going to pee my pants I laughed so hard. How about that one????

All that has to be said is explosive Diarrhea. No one will ask anything more.



Also you can name your boat "sickbed". That way you can call into work saying, "I am in my sickbed and I can't make it in today". And you are not lying either.

 

[Crazy Horse]

Well a couple of you have come close.



The best one I've heard is Anal Glaucoma .







Because I can't see my A$$ coming to work today.

Dan, do you still hang up stockings at Xmas? Honest with the Boss? Are you mad? I am appalled & shocked! Will it work? Don

 

[bmoeller]

Works for me.



Crazy Horse- ROTFLMAO :-laf :-laf

A friend of mine had the best excuse I've heard in a long time! He called from his deer stand and said he could not make it to work because it would interrupt the hunt. He then, in the same breath, proceeded to give his 2 week notice

 

[silverram03]

Goin' Fishin'. Man as far as Im concerned any excuse is a good one.

Call in Dead.

 

[big jake 1]

back in the eighties, before cell phones were around, I once used my ship to shore to call in sick to work while fishing for sturgeon in San Francisco Bay.



When my boss answered the phone, the call began this way:



"THIS IS THE SAN FRANCISCO MARINE OPERATOR AND WE HAVE A CALL FROM... . "

THE FORD GUY Oo. Oo. Oo.

:-laf :-laf

 

[MMiller]

A guy at work uses the excuse. "I can't come in today, my fallopian tubes hurt!"



Also heard, I don't have water pressure in the house today.



The septic system is backed up, need to fix it.



Like said above, call in dead. Ask for 3 days off because you are a close family member to the deceased!



I've called in sick on night shift before. Had to get the guys to shut off their trucks. We were out in the timber on a Friday night four wheeling.



The boss really like it if you try and schedule a sick day ahead of time. Like monday afternoon tell your boss you will be sick Friday.



On nice days you can imagine how people just start getting sick, and have to go home early.

Anal Glaucoma... now thats funny!!! If you ever know you are going to need a day (or more depending on your acting skills) go for the springtime tried & true classic... . " I am really sorry, but the IRS called, and they want to review "things" ". Dont say anymore, act worried, and you will get sympathy as an added bonus. Heck- once they sent me home a day early so I could get my "affairs" in order... . cleared the inlet at 0900!!
