I THINK I got this from the WSJ last week but all I have is a clipping...
Dog was having a nervous breakdown
My dead grandmother was being exhumed.
Toe was stuck in toilet
Upset by watching Hunger Games
Sick from reading too much
Hair turned orange while trying to dye it another color
My sobriety cutoff wouldn't let me start my car.
'Toe was stuck in toilet' might actually be legitimate if you're talking about my sister. She has had her toe stuck in the bathtub faucet (wanted to see if it would fit), and stuck her head through the steering wheel of her car (wanted to see if it would fit.) While driving. Twice.
ReplyDelete'Hair turned orange while trying to dye it another color' has happened to me, but I didn't miss work because of it. We didn't have any kind of dress code at the college art department.
Only "while driving" gives me momentary pause...
