I need to fake an illness to get out of a New Years Eve event....ideas?

[Fishooked]

I need something rock-solid here, not just my usual 'I dont feel so good, smell the bathroom for yourself' kind of illness.

Every year its the same old drag at my wife's friends house, with a house full of kids that are hopped up on leftover sugar cookies and holiday desserts, and a bunch of adults that frankly I can't fake more than a couple hours worth of conversation topics with. One of us has to drive home and unfortunately I don't trust my wife so I usually take the sobriety bullet which exacerbates things.

Ideas?

[JaxSuzy]

Yep, I vote for concussion too

Wait, she's onto the bathroom trick?

Anal Glaucoma.

Just tell your boss:
I can't see my ass coming to work today.

S/he will give you off just for the ingenuity.

You're welcome.

Leave specks of a blood like substance. Spend time in the can. COme out, do some pushups, go uh oh, and run back into the can spreading bloodlets.

It covers teh "you're cured one second after midnight" part.

go skiing or air softing on sunday. It can't be that hard to hurt yourself. Go to the doctor and get some vicodine for your injury and you'll be too wacked out to go anywhere on Monday night.

fake a migraine-like headache with dizziness -- you'll need to lie down and rest in quiet until it goes away -- probably sometime after the event starts and it's too late to go

I went paint balling the day before a friends wedding... Couldn't (well, could have but yeah...) get out of bed to make it. Used it twice since.

Good luck.

I change my vote to Jumping Frenchmen of Maine!

Try the corn in your penis routine.

Ask JT for the specifics.

Ahh, the old fake a headache trick. Causing blue balls for millennia.

Tell her it's lasting longer than 4 hours and you don't have any baggy trousers.
