New Excuse for Missing an Exam: My Dad Won the Powerball
As a graduate student, I think I have heard every undergraduate excuse for missing exams. In addition to the usual reasons for missing exams (illness, death in the family), I've heard some doosies including student last year who missed a major exam because he went to the World Series Champion parade in Boston to honor the Red Sox (his dead grandfather would have wanted him to go).
But "my dad won $340 million?" That's a new one!

I'd like to use that excuse myself.

LOL. Well, you know what they say about lightening. It rarely strikes the same place twice, so I think Oregon is off the list. But now that you mention it, I did by 2 scratch-off lottery tickets the other day at that gas station. $2 each. I have always avoided buying those as a rule, but this time I handed over $4 to try my luck. A big goose-egg on one of them, and a $2 win on the other! I was tempted to go back inside and buy another ticket, but I didn't.
As for the kid who missed his exam. HE didn't win. His dad did. But I'd be freaked out if I were him, too.
