Guys,

I could really use some fresh ideas and or excuses for getting out of work so I can go fishing tomorrow, without jeoperdizing my job. Since I've already used the "my kid is off for spring break and really wants to catch a salmon" line, and sick one other day this spring, I need some new material so I can bag another tasty slab while its cranking. Please help!

L.R.

Let's see:

1) Plumbing emergency - overflowing toilet/septic tank, have to be home for the plumber.

2) Chest pains that the doctor hasn't been able to explain

3) This rash that the doctor hasn't been able to explain

4) The IRS has some questions, and my accountant wants to discuss this with me and my lawyer first.

5) My hamster is depressed and needs company.

6) Child was busted for running an internet scam, need to confer with lawyers.

7) President Bush called, my country needs me (to fish and stimulate the economy)

8) School conference, child needs help, had to confer with several teachers, and not all were available on the same day.

9) Truck broke down.

10) Boss, don't you want to go fishing?

Best I can do.

L.R.,

You could use this one that my secretary used after being late for work 3 weeks in a row. "I got half way to work and blew a load of diarrhea in my pants, so I went home and directly to bed." I've heard them all from her, but that takes the cake, who could dispute that one without believing it.

How bout'

I got eye problems......you know I can't see coming to work!!!

Good luck and tight lines, Jeff

I like Silver Hilton's #10..........it works for me Cowlitz tomorrow :p

I'm kinda leaning towards the plumbing emergency, but I was also inspired by the diareaha angle except maybe hemmoroids instead. You know, gotta see the doc about screaming case of roids might even require minor surgery etc. etc.

Hey fish4steel, you still coming over to float the Yak with me in a couple of weeks?

Rip Lips!

I always tell my boss that I got Salmon-ella.

It's real nice being the boss...I don't have to make up excuses to anyone in my company...I do however have to come up with an occasional line for a General Contractor when the bite is on!

FJ...out.

Lip-Ripper, don't know right now. Seems I may be taking a little unplanned trip.... And now that the springers are running in numbers, I get to go to San Antonio all next week. Gotta love it

Tell him that the moon was not in the proper phase with the earth in order for you to be able to come into work.

Explosive diarrhea is always a good excuse because your boss won't be asking questions about it. That's what you want is an excuse that they won't ask questions about. The one with getting minor surgery on the roids is good too. The only problem is you might have to take a donut with you to work for a few days. I think RT has one that he will loan you :p .

Jury duty........good for up to a week.

Here's a couple.
Cable guy, They tell you a time when he's "supposed" to show up.
Car broke down, Something electrical, I don't know jack about electrical.
Death in the family, If you need to go fishing real bad.
I really don't need an excuse cuz they all know I'm a fishoholic, same for hunting season.
Bring your boss some smoked salmon. They like it & want more so then you can say I'm going to go get some salmon for the smoker. All righty then we'll see ya on Monday.
