The TSR Great List of PE Excuses

I know some people actually like PE (Strange people...) but I thought we could compile a list of PE excuses to be used throughout the TSR community when "I forgot my kit" is no longer good enough.

I will add mine later....

"I hurt my leg whilst walking."

I actually used that.
Every week I would fake one beforehand. Brilliant.
Depends what sport!! Our PE teachers are so dense they seem to think that the same 3 girls who hate swimming can be on their period for an entire term!! I suppose it's because they can't prove they're lying :s-smilie:

"I dropped a spoon on my foot and it hurts too much to run"
"It's too windy, my hair will get messed up"
"It's too windy, I might fall over"
"It's too cold, I hate being cold"
"I'm too tall to run properly"

All of these were used by someone at my school (Not me :p: ) and actually worked, they thought he was so strange they never bothered with him.
Eventually he just went off and sat in the library.

Do P.E though, when you leave school you then realise how awesome it actually was :yes:

The *Stolen* PE Kit

A slight variation of 'I lost my kit':

1) Hide your PE kit in a less-than-obvious place at school

2) When the PE lesson starts, tell your teacher about the *stolen* kit

3) Ask if you can look for it

4) Turn up 10 mins before the lesson ends with kit in hand, and abracadraba you don't need to do it

5) Particulary convincing if you are of the 'geeky' type, because no-one suspects a thing.

(Unless your teacher is really evil)

* May I add all of these are copied at your own risk and I am no way responsible if you risk tarnishing your educational record...

This one is especially effective if used on a male teacher.

Photoshop Time

1) Get a old note

2) Scan it

3) Remove date somehow in image editing program

4) Print

5) Fill in with own date using exact pen/pencil colour

THIS ONE WORKS!
there was a really fat girl who used to be in my class and she used to use every excuse under the sun to try and get out of it. some of the ones i remember were:

- i slept on my leg and now it really hurts
- i cant because im bulimic
- my mum said i didnt have to do it because i already did exercise today
- i have developed a fear of rain because of the medication i am taking
- i cant afford to buy a pe kit

god she was off her nut. i dont think i ever missed pe. it was the only thing in school that i enjoyed and was good at.

"i fell off my bike on the week end"

"i twist my ankle while playing cops and robbers/hide and seek" - note: this should only be used if in year 7. If not, be prepared for embarrassment.

"i hurt my knee while running to school"

"my kit is covered in mud"

"im fasting"

also forge a letter with these excuses written on , with your mothers forged signature on the end.
My sister's nose used to go blue when she was outside (even if she wasn't that cold). She ended up getting sent back inside because of it and escaped hockey! She was well pleased with that one...

Someone I knew at school called Inderjit once brought a note to school that said something along the lines of:

"Inderjit can't do PE today because he has broken his leg

Inderjit's Mum"

Suffice to say, he was not the sharpest tool in the shed.

The French Exam

1) In exam season, say that you have a french exam (doesn't matter if you don't actually have one)

2) Go off to a safe hiding place until PE is over!

:zomg: But everybody loves blood in the swimming pool! :sad:
Just say you have cramps. :awesome:
Mine was always:
'I'm really ill, I can't stand up' (wasn't actually lying)
'Why don't you do a bit of jogging?'
'No, you don't understand me, I can't physically stand up right now.'
'What about a go on the trampoline?'
'You're really not getting this are you...'
