My challenge is this: what was the best way you could get out of school, and get sympathy enough from your parents to write you a sick note the next day?

We've all heard the classics. Thermometer on the light bulb when mom's not looking, rubbing your cheeks to look feverish, feigning explosive diarrhea, et cetera. The "balloon o puke" filled with chunky non noodle-y soup artfully "vomited" into the toilet gag has even been overused.

How did you get out of school? What have your friends gotten away with in their youth?

The neighborhood boys once put toothpaste on a pickle and ate it to induce vomiting. Their mom let them stay home that day.

Yo taco, please enlighten me: how do you fake explosive diarrhea? Please include how closely you can be monitored with whatever method you're describing.

Or is it as simple as an overdose of laxatives? Wait, that's no way to enjoy a day off.

For my school, you just had to have a parent call in to their special attendance line.
Fortunately for me, I sound a great deal like my father and both my parents left for work before I even got up.

I believe the correct term is "cha-ching."

If that didn't work, I would just go into the bathroom and fill a couple of glasses with water and pour them into the toilet whilst making grunting noises.

I never skipped school because I was a perfect angel as a child.

Paint your bedroom with your own feces and wail about how the worms want your eyeballs. Guaranteed time out of school and up to a week of detox if you eat enough poppy seed muffins to botch the obligatory drug test.

I was lucky enough to have a very believable excuse in my senior year... I had undertaken years of orthodontic work that then required frequent visits before my surgery could take place. Fortunately for me, my orthodontist's office, surgeon's office, and my favorite coffee shop are all on the same block and only a five minute walk from my school. I'd either leave for my appointments ridiculously early or come back ridiculously late, or I would make up appointments that didn't exist. Later, I say to my father, "Hey daddy, I had an appointment with my surgeon today. Can you sign this?" He had no reason not to believe me.

In conclusion: Afflict yourself with orthognathic problems that require years of treatment and painful(ly expensive) procedures! Cue the ensuing hilarity.

My senior year I convinced my mom it was "senior skip day" three or four times each semester.

My junior year I had bacterial meningitis and missed a month of school. The first half I was in the hospital, the second half I was re-mastering basic skills like walking properly and reading.

Cocaine cut with ajax was my best (inadvertent) excuse.

Copiously bleeding nose, violent vomiting, and convulsions.

Only Sgt. Hartman wouldn't buy that one.

So many of us used to go to the "Garden Bowl" a meadow in Duke Gardens on Duke Univ. campus when we had senior skip days in high school that the school started sending a VP around to check the bowl in the middle of the afternoon.

Ever see the scatter in a movie when someone yells "IMMIGRATION!"? Yeah, it was just like that only with bikinis, frizbees, and beer bought on fake ids.

This doesn't really count but it shows how stupid I was as a kid.

My parents were on a company paid vacation in Hawaii. I skipped school one day and stayed around the house. The phone rings. I answer it. It was my father.

"I don't know what upsets me more, the fact that you skipped school or the fact that you were stupid enough to pick up the phone."

That may be why I don't like answering the phone to this day.
