I accidentally sent an email to my entire department using "testicles" in place of "obstacles", how the hell can I fix this? (lemmy.zip)

Part of my email which I sent to the department (nearly 200 people, including the VP) said "...and then we can overcome our obstacles", but for some reason I wrote it "and then we can overcome our testicles". This just happened. I have no idea what to do now. Please help!

You send another email right away.

Subject: Correction
Text: There was a typo in my last email: Instead of "overcome our testicles", I meant to write "cum over our testicles".
I apologize for the confusion.

You can't fix this. Instead you become an office legend known to everyone.

Enjoy your fame. It will help you. No joke, I mean it.

Tell them it was a phishing test, and they all passed.

I once sent a heavily pregnant female client an email that said “Seed you soon!”

She was kind enough not to mention it.

Sorry, autocorrect.

Yeah it should've said "come cum all over our testicles"

Send the same email. And maybe once more. Then have a colleagues reply to it. You reply back. And then possibly people will just assume there was some discussion for the same topic and might just not read it all. Only works if the original email was long.
