Thanks for sharing your comments - an...Hello, all,<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your comments - and excuses. <br /><br />Fulani - Amazing! But if they're true, aren't these explanations rather than excuses?<br /><br />Ash - I'd rather have the students do the work than come up with creative excuses. Still, if they can't manage the former, it would be fun to get the latter.<br /><br />madelineelayne - Heaven forfend! My students must never connect me with my literary persona! Anyway, they're very shy about sex. They're so young...<br /><br />unwriter - Snakes? Hmm. Sounds like an Indiana Jones movie to me...!<br /><br />Kathleen - Thank you... I'm trying to learn to be funny. It doesn't come naturally, but I have excellent models here at the Grip.<br /><br />Emerald - Thank you... I'm glad I accomplished my objectives!<br /><br />Garce - as they say, "thanks for reading my stuff".<br /><br />Latesha - No, I haven't used any of these either. But then I'm always such a good girl, I don't need excuses!Lisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-31937819710913526812010-10-10T17:13:26.650-04:002010-10-10T17:13:26.650-04:00These were too funny, Lisabet.

I'm sure someone, somewhere, sometime, has actually tried these excuses!<br /><br />Strangest ones I had when I was teaching undergraduates (though they're not erotic ones!):<br /><br />1. A flight log. On close inspection it appeared that at the time of the deadline and for several hours before, the student had been winchman on an airsea search and rescue helicopter, with the co-ordinates of the rescue given. Turns out he wasn't supposed to be on duty but if a call comes in in the last minute of your shift, you still answer it.<br /><br />2. 'Sorry,I was on my way to hand the work in and got kidnapped.' Again it turned out to be true, and verified by the police. The student was from a Chinese family and had been kidnapped by triads as leverage to get her father to pay protection money. Fortunately she'd been released unharmed after about a week - I don't know whether the father paid the money.Fulanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14959628434559905605noreply@blogger.com
