Knockout April Fools joke! But, man - your poor kids!!! But, in the end -
its good to hear they got a Great Laugh out of it!

Yes, kudos on your trick, Christina.
The student newspaper at my alma mater does not do April Fools
jokes anymore. Too many people got confused. HA! I think that that
is a reason for having them. I only found out when I submitted:

TRU Nearly Shut Down by Fire Department
"excessive combustibles" cited
TRU narrowly escaped being shut down by the fire
department. With the end of the semester coming up, this would have
posed a severe operational problem to administration and much stress
for students preparing for final exams.
Citing a history of excessive combustibles constituting a real
risk of fire, the fire department was quite serious about this. The
shutdown was averted by a quick twelfth-hour cleanup, but TRU is on
notice for the near future.
OK, OK. Yes, this is an April Fools joke, but there is an
element of truth here. Bulletin boards around TRU sometimes have six
or more layers of posters. How about taking down your old poster
when it no longer applies?
***** End of Spoof Article *****
I spoke with someone at the fire department. If you edit this,
absolutely do not try to put more detail into it. Keep it vague with
no quotes or comments supposedly by the fire department.
The editor is willing to print it as an "open letter" though.
