The Wrong Email 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 Friday, and his wife was flying down the following day.
The husband checked into the hotel, and unlike years ago, there was a computer in his room, and he decided to send an email to his wife. However, he accidentally left out one letter in her email address, and without noticing his
error, sent the email to the wrong address.
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 email, expecting
messages from relatives and friends. After reading the first message, she screamed and then fainted. The widow's son rushed in to the room, found his mother on the floor, and then glanced up and saw the computer screen which read:
To: My Loving Wife
Date: Friday, October 13, 2005
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 email 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.
PS ...... Sure is freaking hot down here!
