LOL, I am an expert on these. My formula is to state the problem, add a slightly yucky and overly personal detail to add the ring of authenticity to it, and then tell them that they don't want me there, and why. This works like a charm. Examples:
I just quit smoking and I can't stop screaming and crying. You don't want me there in the state I'm in, trust me.
I ate at this restaurant last night and something is very wrong with my stomach, no, you do not want me there unless I get my own bathroom.
I think I have that lousy flu that's going around, you know that one that makes you all chilly and then sweaty? Unless you want the whole office out sick, you definitely don't want me there.

I go for the standard - food poisoning. But the best one was Iwhen I called in with this excuse while in nightclub in Berlin, the person I was calling? The mother superior of the convent school where I was employed!

Always say stomach flu with vomiting and diarrhea because you absolutely can not work with that and you can't help that you got it because you can get it anywhere and its so contagious that they don't want you to come to work and give it to them. And you can be fine the next day and go back to work. Just don't use it to often or they will think you are preggers or something worse.

40 years ago, so might not work today.
Me - "I have to get married tomorrow. Can I have the day off?" ("forced wedding", as they used to say).
Boss - You can come in in the morning though, the wedding isn't 'til 2 o'clock".
Me - "I think I feel ill"!!!
I was sick at the thought anyway, but, heck, it served me right - "don't put your foot in the water unless you can accept it'll get wet"!

Most recent, I got jaundice and ended up in hospital for a week, except it wasn't an excuse, it was real.

i ate something really spicy the night before, so i got severe indigestion. I made it more believable when i said that i actually cooked the meal. (im a terrible cook! and they all know it)

i said- i burst a pipe in my flat and i had to wait for the plumber to come around. everybody was asking me about it for weeks afterwards, I felt pretty guilty.
