What is the worst excuse you have used to try and get out of a pickle. This takes some beating.

Announcer uses racial slur against girls' basketball team who took the knee during national anthem
One of the livestream's broadcasters, who didn't realise their microphone was live, was heard saying: "They're kneeling? F*** them. I hope Norman gets their ass kicked… F****** n******."
Matt Rowan, who subsequently admitted to making the insulting marks, issued a lengthy apology seeking forgiveness, but claimed he was not racist.
While not excusing his comments, he also said he was diabetic and during the game his "sugar was spiking", which can cause him to become disoriented and "often say things that are not appropriate as well as hurtful".

In the months after the London bombings, I worked with a very pasty, very gay, very Welsh contractor in the NHS. He kept not turning up and had various ludicrous excuses, but his best was that his flat was raided by anti-terror Police and he was held for questioning. I always wondered if he was trying to come up with increasingly stupid excuses to see how far he could push it before someone called him on it.
He was sacked after going to his aunt's funeral where someone else took his car home, leaving him stranded.

Vito Spatafore’s excuse to Tony Soprano was pretty good.

That's nothing. A similar defence was successful in defending a charge of murder.

Whenever I hear stuff like this it reminds me of the chap who was rushed to A&E, naked, with a wooden broom handle a fair way up his arsehole.
His excuse was he was in the bath and there was a draft so he stepped onto the upright broom in order to reach the window and slipped ....
