The April Fools joke that might have got me fired

This was the most hilarious part to me:

  That went wrong also, because my retraction said that campus administration was not considering charging per-page fees when in fact they actually were, so I had to retract it and send a new retraction that didn't call attention to that fact

Probably because they were considering more per page and 5 cents was too low.

Right? It actually kinda makes it most believable!
