Get your excuses right!

They say, we realize some parts of our brains and intellect existed only when we have to conjure up excuses, the worst being for 'Why didn't you come to the college yesterday?' . If its a friend asking the question, you happily give away details. Chances are you were driving maniacally around highways or cozying up in a movie theater.
But hey, out of the blue, your much-interested lecturer catches you on your way the canteen and asks you the same Q - "So, what Miss/saar..what were you doing yesterday? Y didn't you come to collg?" .
Instant reaction : Weak knees,quivering mouth.
You think..Damn! I should have known that was coming...Now, thinkk,think,think (read lie,lie,lie)

You say "Sir, I was sick..fever"
Sir looks at you like you gave the most boring excuse ever made-up. I don't blame sir...Fever is the most repeated,worn-out, not happening excuse !! Sometimes, I think even if i did have fever...I wouldn't give that cursed excuse...cause I wouldn't even have the lecturer sympathizing with me(cause they don't blv it). So much for actually suffering.
One day in class, every boy who stood up and was questioned about their absence said the same thing - "fever sir" . It would take a coincidence of sorts or a really dumb lecturer to have believed them. Sir got mighty put-off when even the very last boy mouthed the same excuse and said hastily " Ok.Then, get the doc's prescription paper!!" . I was happy the boy dint argue further saying that he didn't go the doc..it was mild ..or sm such stuff.
People talk creativity, innovation and out-of-the-box thinking. Our old fever- excuse could surely do with some 'makeover' .
"Brain fever" ? .. haha..pretty believable ;)
