Boss: oh so that's why your hands look like that. But isn't that an easy fix like a 1 minute fix?
Me: you would think so, but it was my coaster brake bike and i was going down a slight decline pretty fast and needed do turn down a street and find something to crash into to stop. once stopped i found the chain jammed between the chain guard and the chain ring. tried to do it with a napkin from my lunch bag so my hands wouldn't get greasy. once realizing that i needed to grab the chain with two hand and yank, everything after that went fast. also rode a bit slowly to make sure the chain drop was a fluke.
Boss: yep, i think i am just not going to ask you why you were late.
lol
p.s. i take a little bag that has vinyl gloves in it that I use just for that reason.
