Wow Jauntie you have some good nerves to make that stuff up. The leg one cracked me up. That would have been embarassing but probably funny more funny that they all went along with it rather than confronted you. Ha.

I wouldn't doubt that people come up with crazy excuses for missing work. It's hard to go from school where you have 3 months off to working where you get maybe 1 week or 2. Gotta sneak a day here and there when you can.
