Need to get out of work?

So my friend Ed used to tell me all the time that the best way to get out of work was to call in and say you have diarrhea. It's one of those things that no one really wants to talk about. And if they ask for a doctor's note, you can just say, "Well I can get one if you really want me to, but it's just diarrhea." This may be the smartest thing I've ever heard of.
