This is really funny! it happened when the auto dial function of the schools telephone system went crazy! ---------- PALM BAY, Fla. -- More than 2,500 students at a Central Florida high school were incorrectly informed by an automated telephone system that they had weekend detention. The glitch affected students at Palm Bay High, with the message telling students that they had to report for Saturday morning detention. Instead of calls going to just 16 homes, the parents or guardians of all 2,550 students received the message. The glitch has not yet been identified, Local 6 News partner Florida Today reported. At least 40 students showed up Saturday morning, only to be informed of the error. "I really feel bad that it happened," said Principal John Thomas. "It was just too late at 9:30 at night when we found out about it to call everyone back. But Saturday, I sent an apology on the system." ---------- I am sure many of the parents would start questioning their kids about the detention. How would you react if suddenly your kids have to go for detention?

Yes...many parents wouldn't believe the "but I didn't do anything!" remarks. Too funny!
