Importance of correct e-mail addresses:
A couple from Minneapolis decided to go to Florida for a long weekend to
thaw out during one particularly icy winter. Because both had jobs, they
had difficulty coordinating their travel schedules. It was decided that
the husband would fly to Florida on a Thursday, and his wife would
follow him the next day. Upon arriving as planned, the husband checked
into the hotel. There he decided to open his laptop and send his wife an
e-mail back in Minneapolis.
However, he accidentally left off one letter in her address, and sent
the e-mail without realizing his error. In Houston, a widow had just
returned from her husband's funeral. He was a minister of many years who
had been 'called home to glory' following a heart attack. The widow
checked her e-mail, expecting messages from relatives and friends. Upon reading the first message, she fainted and fell to the floor. 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
From: Your Departed Husband
Subject: I've Arrived!
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 hot down here!
