Lucian Nenciovici started his email with that phrase in reply to a query sent by two of his Universite de Montreal profs asking why he missed a compulsory meeting.
Nenciovici went on to explain in the paragraph "dumb jokes aside..." and then offered a 600 word detailed summary of his schedule on the day in question.
The email, with its attempted Nintendo-based irony, went over like a rhino in a bouncy palace..
Nenciovici already had a strike against him for what were deemed to be compassion-related deficiencies. He apologized for the Nintendo email and his case was eventually sent to a school committee where a vote of 28-6 decided to cast him out of the school in late 2009.
These details all became public because Nenciovici then attempted to sue the school for $150,000 for expelling him. A judge rejected his case earlier this month.
