From some random website:

1) Employee was poisoned by his mother-in-law.
2) A buffalo escaped from the game reserve and kept charging the employee every time she tried to go to her car from her house.
3) Employee was feeling all the symptoms of his expecting wife.
4) Employee called from his cell phone, said he was accidentally locked in a restroom stall and no one was around to let him out.
5) Employee broke his leg snowboarding off his roof while drunk.
6) Employee's wife said he couldn't come into work because he had a lot of chores to do around the house.
7) One of the walls in the employee's home fell off the night before.
8) Employee's mother was in jail.
9) A skunk got into the employee's house and sprayed all of his uniforms.
10) Employee had bad hiccups.
11) Employee blew his nose so hard, his back went out.
12) Employee's horses got loose and were running down the highway.
13) Employee was hit by a bus while walking.
14) Employee's dog swallowed her bus pass.
15) Employee was sad.

The best I ever heard was on Chris Tarrant's breakfast show years ago:

"I can't come in today as when I woke up I had an amazing 'morning glory' and it seemed such a shame to waste it."

I thought, well if that is what you get in the post these days, I can think of far better things to do than go into work...

I won't be in today because the voices in my head have told me to stay at home and clean my guns...

(I did know someone once who rang in and told his boss that he wouldn't be in today because he'd pulled a muscle getting out of bed! )

The most useless DBA at my last place didnt come in after doing a call in the middle of the night, f*cking up a database, not telling anyone and leaving it for us to find (and sort)in the morning.

He said he didnt come in as he 'Wouldnt be at my best', the peel of laughter in the meeting was hard to disguise.
