Oops

A couple from Minneapolis wanted to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary by escaping the winter chill for sunny Florida. They were going to spend their trip in the same hotel where they stayed during their honeymoon.

Unfortunately, because of their busy schedules, they had to book separate flights. The husband’s flight was set to leave on Thursday, and his wife’s would leave the following day.

After he checked into his room, the husband decided to pull out his computer and send a quick email to his wife, who he knew would want to know he arrived safe and sound. Only, a single letter typo caused his email to go somewhere he did not intend. Rather than his wife receiving it…

…the email was sent to a widow in Houston, Texas, who had just gotten back to her house after her husband’s funeral. Her husband was a popular minister, and had passed from a heart attack.

The widow sat down at her computer, expecting emails from relatives and well-wishers. She never made it past the first email before she screamed and then fainted. Her son rushed over to see what had happened. After checking on her, he noticed the email…

“To: My loving wife

Subject: I’ve arrived
Date: January 7, 2016

“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 hot down here!!!!!”
