Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Oops. You did it again. But before you go owning up to your mistakes, try the Instant Excuse ball, it may keep you from getting in a whole mess of trouble. Each 3" hard plastic ball comes with twenty different excuses ranging from the obvious, My Dog Ate It, to the obscure, Mexican Food.

This review is from: INSTANT EXCUSE BALL (Toy)

I gave this to my boss because she was constantly being pestered by everyone with all sorts of questions about when this would be done, why isn't that done, etc. (She was very efficient and the folks bugging her about stuff had serious time management issues of their own.) My boss was very brazen about using it. When someone would come in that was a constant source of problems, she would simply hand this to him/her and say, "pick one." The person would turn it over, read the excuse and crack up laughing. This actually turned out to be an "ice breaker" of sorts: it allowed my boss to tell folks they were being unreasonable with their expectations, yet without insulting them or getting into a rather uncomfortable discussion.

If you have the co-worker who has used every excuse in the book this is the toy for you. My fellow worker bees would throw money in the pot, if the excuse making co-workers sorry excuse of the day matched the excuse ball, we would buy treats for the group. Of course we had much fun with this. Throw the sarcastic ball in the mix and we laughed until lunch.

The words are too small and the liquid inside the ball is too dark....making it too hard to read and not fun. The speedy shipping was great.
