Though it's somewhat understandable that a scene in which a main character effectively admits to manslaughter didn't make the cut, it sure would've confirmed that Phyllis (Phyllis Smith) is indeed the worst human being working at Dunder Mifflin.

In season five's "Business Ethics," Phyllis admits that during her honeymoon safari in Africa with her husband Bob Vance, he got drunk and they ran over what was "probably a man."

Terrified of the apparently corrupt local authorities, they kept driving and bribed the airline to get on the next flight out of the country. In a gut-busting final line, a tearful Phyllis says, "Maybe it was just an ostrich...in a soccer uniform."

It's just as well that the scene was deleted, or Phyllis might well be in the slammer right alongside Creed. Oof.
