A lesson to be learned from typing the wrong e-mail address:
A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a
particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where
they spent their honeymoon 20 years before. Because of their hectic
schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules. So,
the husband left Minneapolis and flew to Florida on Thursday, with his
wife flying down the following day.
The husband checked into the hotel, and unlike years! ago, there was a
computer in his room, so he decided to send an e-mail to his wife.
However, he accidentally left out one letter in her e-mail address, and
without noticing his error, sent the e-mail.
Meanwhile...somewhere in Houston , a widow had just returned home from
her husband's funeral. He was a minister who was called home to glory
after suffering a heart attack.
The widow decided to check her e-mail il, expecting messages from
relatives and friends. After reading the first message, she screamed and
fainted. The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the
floor, and then glanced up and saw the computer screen which read:
To: My Loving Wife
Date: Thursday, October 13, 2004
Subject: I have arrived!
Dearest Love:
I know you are surprised to hear from me. They have computers here
now, and you are allowed to send E-mails to your loved ones. I have just
arrived and have been checked in. I see that everything has been
prepared for your arrival tomorrow, and look forward to seeing you then.
Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.
P.S. Sure is freaking hot down here!
