A Better One

Another student excuse for missing an assignment (see below), but I'll probably accept this one. It meets all the criteria: it's compelling, verifiable, unlikely to reoccur, and best of all, entertaining.

"It happened 2 weeks ago but I had been over there since. When i got the call they told me that there had been a fight and that he had gotten stabbed. I had to rush home to see how he was doing, but as it turns out it was him that did the stabbing. He had been on the run for a while, but gave himself up to autorities. I know it won't happen again because he's gonna be in jail for quite some time."
