It's as good as any other excuse, although, pardon me, but I didn't see in the article any mention of where the tiger urinated. Maybe it's 'creative license.'

6. "Stuck on an island -- canoe floated away."
Did he call from the island?

"My alarm clock went off right on time, but I hate this place, so I hit snooze and slept til I was damn good and ready to come in. Oh, and I stopped to buy a lottery ticket so I can win and kiss your ugly a$$ good-bye."
I can see where a lie might work better.

Daisy, excuse number 2, the tiger urinated on his ear causing an ear infection. Why his head was anywhere near the source of urine is TMI and I DON'T WANT TO KNOW!

I personally like the "frozen-chicken-feet-stuck-to-the-sidewalk" excuse. I'll have to remember that one. I may have a little problem convincing them of the snow storm.

Sio, just pick up some frozen chicken feet from a Liberty City grocery store!

I'm sorry, but I can't come in to work today. I got a dirigible caught in my hair.

Okay, this article covers calling in sick. How about us that call in well?

Meanie, even though I had to look up "dirigible"...I SNORKED up another hair ball!

I'm sorry, Siouxie, but THIS is for your own good.

My ex-emloyer used to deny sick leave constantly. Once I called in "drunk"and it was granted with pay.
