What was the strangest excuse you used to be late for work that was actually legitimate?

I called into work late one morning because every car in the parking lot of my apartment building was egged (homecoming weekend) and I had to go through the car wash asap before the eggs solidified.

I was on my way to an office and realized I forgot my laptop, in another country. Still near the border, but I had to go back through customs, back to where the laptop was, and do it all over again.

Similar, but I flew to the wrong city in Canada. I got to the Avaya office in Toronto, but I was supposed to be in Montreal! I quick got into my rental car and drove as fast as I could to Quebec. After that, it was a huge joke that I thought there was only one city in Canada!
