Excuses, ExcusesOne guesser will play someone late for work. At the start of the game they will be sent out of the room. The person who will be playing their "boss" gets three more players to act as the other
player's "co-workers." Then get audience suggestions for a series of crazy events for why the employee is late for work. Once the
late employee is called back in, the “boss” will ask them why they are late. The employee must come up with that exact series of
events as his excuse for being late. His "co-workers" will help out by miming the events, in order, behind the “boss’" back. When he
gets all of it, the Boss will relate to his problem and the scene ends.
