A priceless one from the technology gone wrong files. The lesson to be learned that emails with the wrong email address just don't vanish in cyber space.
A Sydney couple decided to go to Cairns to thaw out during a particularly icy winter.
They planned to stay at the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon many years earlier.
Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel plans. So, the husband left Sydney and flew to Cairns on Thursday, with his wife to fly down on
the following day.
The husband checked into the hotel where there was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an e-mail to his wife. However, he accidentally left out one letter in her e-mail address, and without realizing his error, sent the e-mail.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Adelaide, a widow had just returned home from her husband's funeral. He was a pastor who was called to the next life following 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 fainted.
The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the
floor, and saw the computer screen which read:
To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I've Arrived
Date: July 19, 2010
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've seen 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!!!!
