Excuses, excuses

A couple of days ago I lost my glasses. Everywhere I looked for them I couldn't find them. They weren't in my living room (either on the couch or the coffee table). They weren't in my room (on the bed, next to it or under it). Since I couldn't find them I went around without them. No big loss since my eye sight is good enough that I don't need them all the time (they were prescribed for TV watching). I have them on all the time because this way I don't forget them and they actually make my eyes (and ultimately me) less tired at the end of the day. I ran the washer tonight, when the cycle ended I started moving the clothes to the drier. It was then that I found my glasses. All that happened was that they went through a couple of cycles of washing. Beyond the fact that they were wet it seems that nothing major happened to them.
There is one issue: Tomorrow morning when I will be in the office people will ask me where I found my glasses. I want to be original and have a good excuse for putting them in the washer.
A friend of mine came up with the excuse: They were dirty. I came up with the excuse: I thought that maybe the washer will be able to remove the scatches from the glass. Neither is very good. So I'm looking for good excuse for putting my glasses in the washer ... The person with the best excuse wins a dinner at Pasta Mia :-)
