CHEERS! - Oops! Wrong Email Address

[CosmosBlack]

It's wise to remember how easily this wonderful technology can be misused,
sometimes unintentionally, with serious consequences.
Consider the case of the Illinois man who left the snow-filled streets of Chicago
for a vacation in Florida. His wife was on a business trip and was planning
to meet him there the next day. When he reached his hotel, he decided to send
his wife a quick e-mail. Unable to find the scrap of paper on which he had
written her e-mail address, he did his best to type it in from memory.
Unfortunately, he missed one letter, and his note was directed instead to
an elderly preacher's wife, whose husband had passed away only the day before.

When the grieving widow checked her e-mail, she took one look at the monitor,
let out a piercing scream, and fell to the floor in a dead faint.
At the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen:

Dearest Wife,
Just got checked in. Everything prepared for your arrival tomorrow.
PS. Sure is hot down here.

hehe...i happened to read this about 2 weeks ago on a military joke site forum in the general joke lounge, the version i have is longer, here it is:

A lesson to be learned from typing 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 earlier.

Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to
coordinate their travel schedules.

So, the husband left Minnesota and flew to Florida on
Thursday, with his wife flying down the following day.

The husband checked into the hotel. There was a
computer in his room, so he decided to send an email
to his wife.

However, he accidentally left out one letter in her
email address, and without realizing his error, sent
the email.

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
following a heart attack.

The widow decided to check her email 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 saw the computer screen which read:

To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I've Arrived
Date: October 16, 2004

I know you're surprised to hear from me. They have
computers here now and you are allowed to send emails
to your loved ones. I've just arrived and have been
checked in. I see that everything has been prepared
for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing
you then!
Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.

P.S. Sure is freaking hot down here!
