CHUCK’S CHUCKLES:
Top 10 Actual Excuses Written to School Teachers-
1. Please excuse Carol for being absent, as she was sick and I had her shot.
2. Please excuse Johnny from P.E. for a few days. Yesterday he fell out of a tree and misplaced his hip.
3. Peter has been absent because he had two teeth taken out of his face.
4. Suzie could not come to school today because she has been bothered by very close veins.
5. Please excuse Ben from school yesterday. He has very loose vowels.
6. Scotty was absent yesterday because he missed his bust.
7. Please excuse Ronny for being. It was his father's fault.
8. I kept Mary home because she had to go Christmas shopping because I don't know what size she wear.
9. Please excuse Jennifer for missing school yesterday. We forgot to get the Sunday paper off the porch, and when we found it Monday, we thought it was Sunday.
10. Sally won't be in school on Friday. We have to attend her funeral.
