Excuse of the Year
"A German lorry driver escaped a rap for driving while using a mobile phone - after claiming he was using it as an ear warmer."

Woman foretells future with asparagus
"Jemima Packington throws asparagus on the floor and makes her predictions based on the pattern. She said that some years ago she made a prediction that came true based on an asparagus pattern and realized she was on to something." Seems to me like it's as good a method as anything else.

OK, four days and no comments. I'll open the bidding with the comment that throwing asparagus on the floor is probably the best use for it.

OK, the bit about the cell phone isn't as crazy as it first appeared. However, I wonder about judges who accept all these crazy excuses, even though this one seems a bit more legit than most. At least he didn't kill someone while high on Twinkies.
