I am sure that none of the following posters *cough* have used any ever, but what about the excuses you have heard your co-workers use?
How about: I can't get into work today, because my tires froze to my driveway...

Just once, I'd like to be able to call in and say, "I won't be coming in....I won the 10 million dollar lottery!!!" 
Hmmmmmm, guess it might help if I bought some tickets every once in a while, huh?!?!?!

The best one I have ever heard was passed on by a friend of mine who was a supervisor for Bell Telephone. I can't come in - my period has gone to my head. Her reply -"Put 2 tampax up your nose, strap a sanitary napkin around your mouth and get in here."

One time I called in sick, proceeded to get drunk, forgot about calling in the first time and called in again.
I used to ride to work with a guy who would call the office from the pay phone in the break room.

Here are some my friends and I have collected over the years:
Constipation has made me a walking time bomb.
My twitch is back and I might damage something.
My stigmata is flaring up.
The voices told me to clean all the guns today.
My monkey died.
I can't come into work today because of eye trouble.... I can't see working today.
Hello, This is, ________ I've used all of my sick days and I'm calling in dead.
When I got up this morning, I took two Ex-Lax in addition to my Prozac. I can't get off the john, but I feel good about it.
I can't come in to work today because I'll be stalking my previous boss, who fired me for not showing up for work. OK?
Tom Robbins says: "any one who goes to work everyday... everyday... IS sick!".... so, call in 'well' to work today!

ok, go ahead and laugh-My power was out, and I called in to tell my boss I couldn't get out of my garage because my power was out. She told me to use the rope. I said what rope?

I love the ones that call with the fake cough but are well enough to come get their paychecks that day.

Hey Annie-what she didn't know is how dark my garage is-so I couldn't find the light to find the alleged rope, which WAS alleged, because it had been taken out or fell off!
We had a guy leave work prior to possible tornado-he said he had to leave because wife had a broken leg and he had to go home and tie her down!

My son's was interesting...he called and told them he wasn't coming in to work because if he did, their bonus for avoiding excessive overtime would be jeopardized. We have contests for who works the most hours here...loser makes dinner.
