# Why Steve Was Late: 101 Exceptional Excuses for Terrible Timekeeping - Hardcover

by **Henry Paker** (Author), **Dave Skinner** (Author)

Ever been late? Steve has. Lots. But he always has a good excuse. Here are 101 real corkers for you to enjoy, and maybe even borrow: Distracted by a surprisingly complicated Kinder toy. Overcome by the urge to alphabetize my pets. Forgot how trousers work. Became temporarily feral. Got stuck in a romantic montage. _Why Steve Was Late_ is a book of hilarious (and even--occasionally--plausible ) reasons for tardiness, handily dreamed up and illustrated by someone else.
