I've seen the old Blood in the stool line work effectively.

The beatings will continue until morale improves

the kid I work with always uses the same one, the boss knows he is lying but when you only have 2 employees you deal with it once in a while, at this job I've acually only called in when I was really sick, he'll let me take a day off if I ask, I just wont take advantage too much so when I want a week I can get it

I use these as excuses for missing class at school and some for work
-Pink eye
-Gave blood and feeling drowsy (When work or the town is having a blood drive)
-Doctors appt. usually works for class, or maybe say ur getting a colonoscopy and take the day
-Tree down in your driveway(only works once)
-For the winter just say you cant get to work and head to the mountians
-"family emergency" usually they dont ask questions

I have a bunch more but i forget them

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
