    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
