    I work as a dentist’s assistant(助理) and people often have “good” reasons why they can't come to see the dentist. When I hear them,I can't help laughing.

    Roland liad an 11 0’ clock appointment(预约) .He phoned at 12 0’ clock and said, “I'm sorry that I missed my appointment. My dock broke."

    And then there was Sally who said,“I’m sorry I couldn’t come yesterday for my appointment but my pet mouse died.”

    Colin,who always finds a good excuse (理由) notf to come for his appointment,rang and told me, “My sister called the police and said I had hit her. They asked me questions for three hours before they decided it was a joke!”

    One of the best excuses came from 12-year-old Tim who came about two hours late for his appointment. He said that an elephant had sat on a car in front of his bus!And this caused such a traffic yam (交通堵塞) that no cars could move for an hour.
