Temperatures will be in the low 70's today along the Jersey Shore, but most of us won't get to enjoy it because we'll be at work. Most of us.

I thought this would be a good time to ask the fine people of Monmouth and Ocean Counties what is the best excuse for skipping a work day, and even though we know nobody would EVER do that, here are the top 3 vote getters so far in no specific order and some explanation for each.

Flu or virus. There is some kind of bug going around that features coughing, sneezing and aches and pains. Downside, according to one voter? The bug lasts for a couple of weeks, and do you really want to keep up the act that long?

Migraine. Nobody wishes a migraine on anyone, especially themselves. One person I asked said the upside is no one will want to bother you with calls during the day, so you're pretty much in the clear.

Stomach bug. One person called it the "home run" of sick day excuses. It comes and goes quickly and no one wants to be within 1000 yards of you anyway.

Now, I want to be clear...we would NEVER condone this behavior and are merely reporting this for educational purposes. but we would like you to vote on the sick day excuses you've "heard of".
