@Jayaruh is about to become "clean, smooth, and refreshed." I hope he doesn't get flustered and drop his brush. He's a cold water shaver, so I think he'll be OK.
AS a teacher, I had heard my share of excuses. My favorite (legitimate one) was from a student who had gotten into an argument with her much-younger sister. In the course of this dispute, her sister took a bite out of her science homework. Since the damaged homework was presented to me as proof, I allowed her to re-do it without a lateness penalty. You just can't make this stuff up.
