I need to take an exam to prove my proficiency in the English language tomorrow. My preparation time can be summarised with the words: “at least I read the directions.” I shall report the result of the lack of preparation in a fortnight when I get back my results.

Death in the Family
The most ancient of excuses, death in the family. Often used to elicit sympathy or grudging agreement to unfinished projects and substandard results.
