Best way to get out of doing stupid work?

bankers; when you're staffed on an absolutely miserable project, what are some excuses to get outta this sh*t?

So far I've been using the stall tactic, "Oh, I'm swamped with something else for John, but I'll get to it right away." Have delayed about 3 days, hoping that boss'd eventually give up and do it himself, but am still getting harassed about it. Might just keep postponing indefinitely.

What are some other strategies? Or do you just suck it up and do your work... coz I'm def. not like that :)
