It didn't matter that the assignment was two days late and failure to hand in the assignment would result in a whole lower grade for the whole course, like A to B. Nope, not to me. With my grade on the line, I sent my lecturer the following e-mail, hoping she would still accept my assignment two days late.

Half way through the e-mail, I thought...fuckit, i don't feel like lying anymore. If i'm going down, I should at least make it funny.

Hi,
I came to see you in your office today but you weren't there, so I couldn't drop my excuses for my late assignment onto you. But thanks to the brilliant technology available before me, I can give you excuses even if you're hundreds of miles away!

Anyway, with all honesty. I was going to send you the assignment yesterday immediately after I got home.

Problem 1 - The statement above assumes that the internet is always available and never breaks down.

So my internet didn't work. Which meant that I had to copy my data onto a disk, and proceed to print it off at University, hand it to you in person.

Problem 2 - Louis learns of the wonderful reliability of diskettes. The...non-existent reliability that is...

I now am I'm in University sending this e-mail to you as I am in a dilemma. Already my assignment is 888 minutes late (Chinese people generally believe 888 is the number for good luck and prosperity! it's a sign!), and i'm only going to be able to send it to you once I get back. Again, assuming that my internet is working by then.

I hope you accept my alibi for my late assignment. I was going to tell you that my dog ate my homework but that is
1: Overused and uncreative.
2: A lie.

because my cat did it.

Thanks
Louis the honest.

Well, she laughed and said. "Well, just because you made me laugh in the morning, I will take in this assignment. ANYONE who is able to make me laugh in the morning deserves special treatment"
