It involves scissors, an overfed housecat, a lump of moldy cheese, a shoddily crafted sock puppet, four baby tigers, seven long-winded old men kidnapped from the local duck pond and an algerian meowing mountain llama. It's fairly simple except where are you going to get moldy cheese?

1) "24 Hour" Flu - It comes on fast and leaves you well enough for work tomorrow. Mild food poisoning works too. (Call it botulism and no one will question you.)

2)Internet - Do what I do and surf the net all day.

3) Go on strike - Take a page from the unions. It's usually a good idea to get some people to join in or there could be some repercussions.

4)"Take a Dive" - Take a fall in the warehouse or feign illness in the office. There's no shame in tossing yourself in front of a forklift for a day off. For the office, you can also refer to "Ferris Beuller's Day Off." Lick your palms so they are nice and clammy and splash some water on your face to show a little sweat.

5) Government Cheese - There is no cheese sweeter and more satisfying than government cheese. Let the gubment pay your way. Work less earn more!
