As a teaching assistant for undergraduate courses, I have noticed that there is always a correlation between the death of a family member with test/exam dates. Although the instructor allows the students to take make-up exams without ever verifying their excuses, there are just some excuses that are, well, too lame to even consider.
These two are my favorite:
(1) (Student telling professor eight weeks before the final exams) I'm sorry, I can't take the final exam because I have to attend a funeral.
(The professor had a witty come-back though: I feel so sorry for whoever is going to die in eight weeks time).
(2) I have to miss the final exam because I am accompanying my mother for a vasectomy operation.
