Sick Leave, Sort of

Australia -- A school teacher and taekwondo competitor was reportedly given nine days off work for knee surgery, according to heraldsun.com.au.

The only "operation" taking place, was the man actually travelling thousands of kilometres away to a taekwondo competition in Canada.

A disciplinary hearing was told how the former state champion was caught out when his school discovered the teacher in an Australian team photo for the event.

Asked why he lied, the man said: "Because I just wanted to represent Australia so badly."
