Getting out of school

For those keeping score at home, so far in 2009 the kids have been out of school because (1) it was just too cold and (2) there was snow coming, but not here yet. When I was in school, I can remember (3) a time we got out of school because it was too hot and the A/C was broke and (4) a time that it rained a lot and "the creek was risin'" and some kids were going to have swim home if we stayed all day. But hey - that's life in Cheatham County. So what about you? What's the craziest reason you ever got out of school?
