Strep throat is a good one--esp. this time of year.
---> The "stomach flu" is mediocre because it's WAY over-used. Personally, I'd try to stay away from the common excuses, as you've already missed 4 days so far. You need CREATIVITY at this point! :)
A few more originals:
"I was at the hospital all night long last night 'cause my ______ went into labor & had a baby....so I'm dead tired, and I'll be in early tomorrow to catch up.... [ fill in the blank with sister, friend, etc. ]"
"I had to rush Fluffy to the animal hospital in the middle of the night because she had a terrible [ fall/fight/hit by a car/ or other serious medical condition ]."
"Fluffy gave birth to a littler of 9 last night. Two were born in pretty bad shape, so I spent 1/2 the night attending to them until they stabilized and were out of the woods, so-to-speak.
"My niece/nephew ran away from home 2 days ago and no one has heard from her/him in 2 days. Well guess who showed up at my doorstep at 12:30 am??? :)
So, you see, I spent 1/2 of the night having heart-to-heart conversations, over hot cocoa and smores, with my niece/nephew and the other half of the night trying to calm my Sister, Brother-in-Law, & my Mother. I didn't get a wink of sleep, so I'm off to bed. I'll see ya tomorrow bright and early.

Don't mention the gout - the ignorant will assume you're a piss-cat, which is not necessarily true. Your car broke down/your bus company is on strike/you have an appointment with the doc/you had to take the battery outta your alarm clock to power the torch/flashlight 'cos your electricity got cut off (they don't pay you enough to settle the accounts for your basic human needs, the bastards)

You need to create a 'Bunberry'. A Bunberry is a fictional 'sick friend in the country'. Pooooooor old Bunners! Perpetually on his death bed for the umpteenth time (yet at the same time never quite croaks - bit of a creaking gate is Bunners). You were up all night by his side (your dear old college chum - bless) and it was touch and go from moment to moment but he has now emerged from his coma and is taking tea from his bedside tray. But you my friend are wrecked!!!!! Not fit to drive in at all.

Tell them you are a cronic masterbator and everything is so sore that you cant walk or use your hand for at least 8 hours.

It's quite simple really...always tell the truth. Just ring in and tell them you are a loser and to offer the job to someone who is worth employing..End of problem !

Tell them you have an extreme migraine. I'm sure in a few hours you will, so you will actually be telling them the truth.
