Here's a story I was not involved in, but got to laugh at nonetheless.

So it's college, and in one of the CS problem sets there's an error. So... we'll call him Jim... replies to the professor explaining the error and what the fix should be. The professor forwards this on to the whole class so as to benefit the less astute students.

Enter... we'll call him John... reads the forwarded message, doesn't realize that if you reply to a message it doesn't go to the guy that it was forwarded from, ends up replying to everyone who got a copy of the message as well as the sender (the professor), and says "Wipe that brown [censored] of your nose."

Now this professor was a sort of a machine when it came to e-mail. You could fire one off at 4 am and have a reply in 5 minutes. It's really amazing.

Without missing a beat, 5 minutes or so later John gets a reply from the prof:

"Please Clarify."
