applausible excuse

An explanation for your failures, so spectacular that even those you have let down will put their hands together.
Asked why there was no quarterly report, the vp replied, with the straightest of faces, that he had been abducted on his way to the office, given a medical exam by aliens aboard their UFO, and that the alien's dog did actually eat all his paperwork, and he was extremely sorry. An applausible excuse, it seemed, as he got a laugh from the CEO, clapping filled the conference room, and was not fired for two weeks.

Thank your mom for that handmade mithai. I ate 5 pieces citing the prasad excuse.
