Assignment 2

Create your own version of the Mayoral Excuse Machine in Python that takes in a name and location, selects an excuse at random and prints an excuse("Sorry, Richard, I was late to City Hall to meet you, I had a very rough night and woke up sluggish")
Use the "excuse.csv" in the Github repository
Extra credit if you print the link to the story as well
