As many of you already know, I teach Earth & Space science at the high school level. Our principal came on the intercom to announce the following: "Attention Juniors and Seniors for a very important announcement...due to a lack of expected ticket sales for this year's Prom the restaurant and dance hall is unable to honor their committment to us as site sponsor. Therefore, this year's Prom IS CANCELLED. Tickets are non refundable."
And he let it sink in for a few moments before saying, "And what day is today kids? That's right, it's April Fool's Day! Just joking. Prom will be as scheduled, all tickets have been sold and paid in full. (Teachers, please pardon this important interruption)"
You could hear a collective sigh of relief after that. But the students were devestated and even I was wondering if this had ever happened before.
