Lol, I wonder what was running though her mind?  Grin

*E-mail Error  

It's wise to remember how easily e-mail 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.

Unfortunately, when typing her address, he missed one letter, and his note was directed instead to an elderly woman 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.

P.S. Sure is hot down here.*

Hmm these things happen. That must have been hard for the old lady though. I suppose being senior in years she didn't see the obvious mistake. She only had to check the address from who it was from. Roll Eyes Does sound funny though. Grin

Nice story. But i'd bet a lot of money on it not being true.
