Not as good as the time I brought in
a note from a funeral home saying I was dead
in order to miss a quizz...but not too shabby, either.

My co-worker's dad teaches a mass com lecture course and recieved this e-mail yesterday:

Date: Wed, 20 Oct 2004 12:19:36 -0400 (EDT)
Subject: Re: Com. XXX Lecture Outline Thursday, 10/21

Dr.X --

Excuse me if I come into class late tomorrow. Should the Red Sox win
tonight (which they won't, so it's really no problem), I will likely have
spent all tonight leaning over a trash can, throwing up.

(name witheld)

The teacher's response? Classy:

The lecture outline for tomorrow can be found on blackboard.
