Best excuse for not having homework done

Let's hear 'em. You know, like the dog ate it, etc...

I actually used this one and got away with it.
"Sorry sir,i had it done in my old copy but I threw it out when it was full"

Lamest one I ever used was "I forgot my copy in school so I couldn't do it". It was always met with a response of "and have you no pages at home?"

Are ya serious sir?
Twas Champions League night last night.

Whatever about homework the best one I ever heard for arriving in late was a chap in my year who had to explain repeatedly, and with extra detail so as to make the turn of events clear, that on his way to school he'd sped down a narrow walled laneway on his mountain bike only to find some tosser had just about blocked the opening with two bins. Yer boy on the bike (mis)calculated he could just about squeeze the bike through. He didn't. In fact he wedged the bike firmly between the two bins, closing off the laneway and needing to get some local men of stout build and firm back to help him unjam it.

Kid could've lost his legs but it was feckin hilarious at the time

In college a few weeks ago the teacher asked one fella why he hasnt been in for the past few classes.The students reply...."Bird Flu sir"

I remember I once said "but you had my copy" and the teacher frantically searched her bag for it.

Worst excuse I heard was "We had homework?"

**el tk** · 03/11/2005, 12:32 PM

Worst one I've ever heard:

Teacher: Where's you homework?

Student: I thought it was optional.

Ah but sir Harps were playing away last night!

The most ridiculous one that i really did hear was a fella in about third class saying

I had to go out and play.

**the ox** · 03/11/2005, 1:28 PM

I left my homework in the rain

"I decided I'd prefer to do something more challenging"

**ollie** · 03/11/2005, 3:53 PM

"My father and his friend were watching blue movies all night and i was the only one who could work the video player"
an actual excuse and he got away with it.

worst i used myself though was i'd have about half of an essay done and i'd say i was doing this work late at night and fell asleep at the table.
got away with too.

Told my maths teacher once that I couldn't do my homework because I didn't understand the formula being used. Instead of punishing me, she did my homework for me.
