I requested a book through PaperbackSwap.com, and today I received a message from the sender. He informs me that he’ll be a bit late sending the book, and apologizes for that. His reason: “I work in a prison and an inmate assaulted me. I have cuts and bruises and I’m sore. It’s better than broken and dead. As soon as I can I’ll get the book mailed out to you.”

Best. Excuse. Ever.
