An Illinois man left the snow-filled streets of Chicago for a vacation in
Key West Florida. His wife was on a business trip that was ending the next
day and planned to fly directly to Key West to meet him, so they could have
more time together during their vacation. When he arrived at his hotel in
Florida, he decided to send his wife a quick e-mail. Unable to find the
piece of paper on which he had written her company e-mail address, he did
his best to type it from memory.
Unfortunately, he did not get it exactly right and the message was routed
instead to a preacher's wife, whose husband had just passed away earlier
that week.
When the grieving widow opened her e-mail, she took one look at her
monitor, let out a blood curdling scream and passed out in a dead faint.
The woman's daughter having heard the scream and the loud thud, rushed into
the room. There she saw her mother lying on the floor and the following
message on the computer screen:
MY DARLING WIFE:
JUST CHECKED IN, EVERYTHING IS PREPARED FOR YOUR ARRIVAL TOMORROW. LOOKING
FORWARD TO US BEING TOGETHER AGAIN.
YOUR LOVING HUSBAND
P.S. It sure is hot down here.
