Except that this situation isn't foggy, even in the slightest.
Kind of related story: We had a class in school called "industrial arts," which included wood shop and some other things. The teacher was a big joker, and he would always make these fake write-up slips for students misbehaving (when they weren't). Then he'd give the write-up slip to a student to "take to the principal's office," and the student knew to walk out the door, then come back in and everyone would laugh and have a good time.
Well one day we're woking on a project building a scale model home. I'm using an X-Acto knife to cut some cardboard and Mr. Funnyguy teacher says "what are you doing, Wiz, threatening people with that knife?" to which I respond sarcastically "yeah, totally." True to form, he writes up a fake disciplinary slip and tells one of my friends to bring it to the principal's office. Well my idiot friend ACTUALLY brings it to the principal's office. I'm promptly handcuffed and escorted to the principal by the police. Naturally, the teacher can't confess that writing fraudulent disciplanary reports was a normal part of his teaching style, so he makes up a story that I was actually waving knives around and threatening people. I had the full weight of the teacher's union against me and I was suspended from school.
