LATECOMERS: The Plague of the Modern Era

Meetings: where the art of punctuality goes to die.

Why bother, you ask? Well, because it's not like it's going to make a difference in the grand scheme of things.

We've got a special report on the most creative excuses for being late:

• My car broke down... in my dreams.
• I was stuck in a never-ending loop of elevator music.
• I'm late because I'm allergic to mornings.
• I'm not late, I'm just on 'island time.'

But wait, there's more!
