    My wife's co-worker called out, because her pet frog was sick. No lie. Her supervisor said it was the stupidest excuse she had ever heard.
    "In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed. But they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love. They had 500 years of democracy and peace. And what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

              That reminds me of that old joke:

                  Why not try telling the truth for a change?

                  "I'm staying home to discuss geo-political issues and things pertaining to the television show '24' with my Internet Life friends on Apolyton."

                    I hope no one calls in sick just to post here. .

                    last time I called in sick was to go to a concert. That was like 2 or 3 years ago.

                            I can't remember the last time I was off work sick because of feeling unwell. (excluding one really bad hangover)

                              funnily enough, I can't remember ever calling in sick when I was actually sick. I haven't had a cold in over 12 years though. And I was in the navy, you can't call in sick there. But you could go to medical, but I always figured that was for pansies who didn't want to work.

                                That'd never happen to me - all my bosses are far too straight-laced...
