It's wise to remember how easily email -- this
wonderful technology -- can be misused, sometimes
unintentionally, with serious consequences
An Illinois man 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 email.
Unfortunately, when typing her address, 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 email, 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.
