Just out of curiosity and fun, what are some of the best excuses you have ever heard for a delayed flight?

Flying out of YUL one morning in early 2007 on AC, we were informed that the flight was delayed as it was "too cold for the baggage handlers to work".

Another classic out of DCA (AC Jazz) was "We are just waiting for the snow to melt before we can tow the aircraft to the gate".

Be interested to hear yours!
