A lesson to be learned from typing the wrong e-mail 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 before.

Because of their hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules. So, the husband left Minneapolis and flew to Florida on Friday, and his wife was flying down the following day.

The husband checked into the hotel, and unlike years ago, there was a computer in his room, and he decided to send an e-mail to his wife. However, he accidentally left out one letter in her e-mail address, and without noticing his error, sent the email to the wrong address.

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 after suffering a heart attack.

The widow decided to check her e-mail, expecting messages from relatives and friends. After reading the first message, she screamed and then fainted. The widow’s son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and then glanced up and saw the computer screen which read:

To: My Loving Wife

Date: Friday, October 13, 2005

Subject: I have arrived!

Dearest Love:

I know you are surprised to hear from me. They have computers here now, and you are allowed to send E-mail to your loved ones.

I have just arrived and have been checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow, and look forward to seeing you then.

Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.

P.S. It sure is freakin’ hot down here!

    The total lack of connect with the audience in the video makes me wonder if we are just a little to used to our routines!

    Hi Lori,

    The “disconnect” in the video also made me think that some of those people weren’t open to the unexpected within their normal surroundings. You’re right about their routines as well.

    Hi Lance,

    Glad you liked them. I laughed out loud, too! Hope you have a fun-filled weekend.
