A lot of fellows nowadays have a B.A., M.D., or Ph.D. Unfortunately, they don’t have a J.O.B.

These are excuse notes that school secretaries have actually received. Some of these were in an article in the Detroit News back in the 1970s.“Please excuse John for being absent Jan. 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, and 33.”
“Ralph was absent yesterday because of a sour throat.”
“Please excuse Joey Friday. He had loose vowels.”
“Please excuse Joyce from jim today.”
“Please excuse Roland from P.E. for a few days. He fell out of a tree and misplaced his hip.”
“Karl was hit yesterday playing football. He was hurt in the growing part.”
“John was absent yesterday because he had a stomach.”
“Please excuse Gloria. She has been sick and under the doctor.”
“Please excuse Sarah from being absent yesterday. She was sick and I had her shot.”
Please excuse Jennifer for missing school yesterday. We forgot to get the Sunday paper off the porch, and when we found it Monday, we thought it was Sunday.
Sally won’t be in school a week from Friday. We have to attend her funeral.
My daughter was absent yesterday because she was tired. She spent a weekend with the Marines.
Please excuse Jason for being absent yesterday. He had a cold and could not breed well.
Please excuse Mary for being absent yesterday. She was in bed with gramps
Maryann was absent December 11-16, because she had a fever, sore throat, headache and upset stomach. Her sister was also sick, fever and sore throat, her brother had a low grade fever and ached all over. I wasn’t the best either, sore throat and fever. There must be something going around, her father even got hot last night.
“Please excuse Johnny for being. It was his father’s fault.”

Good morning everyboomie.
It felt kinda like a hurricane here today. I mean it rained solid all....day....long, but hey, all that water means creek flooding, and you know what creek flooding means right? Great fishing.
I'm kidding, but I did catch a big fish the last time I went to the creek. He was down under a limb that crossed the creek in a shallow spot, trying to survive, and more than half dead when I found him. He was a bass, maybe a pound or so. Not much more.
If it's not too hot and terrible Sunday, I may try and make a trip to the creek. I'll have to wait and see.
Right now I have to eat supper, and go shower so I can go to bed. It was a very hard work day, believe you me.
Have a happy day everyone.
