I suspect Alfred sincerely hated making excuses at first, but then his old theatrical leanings started getting the better of him and he started trying to make each new excuse more scandalous, salacious, and hideously embarrassing for Bruce than the one before. Once he'd made that leap, it started being seriously fun.
I believe he was muttering something about an emergency paternity test, and the difficulty of obtaining one in Micronesia.
Hilarious. I will add this to my sea of evidence that Alfred is the best thing ever. I do think, though, that he would be gravely disappointed if Bruce couldn't run his multinational corporation on 2.5 hours of sleep. He would disguise his disappointment with sarcasm, of course, but Bruce would recognize it. And --having no other option-- Bruce would improve himself until he could.
In actual practice, Holmes found it highly annoying.

"Norbury."
"Norbury it is."
"Then make it so."
