Be careful when typing in email addresses

It's wise to remember how easily
this wonderful technology can be
misused, sometimes unintentioanlly,
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.  Unable to find
the scrap of paper on which he had
written her e-mail address, he did his
best to type it in from memory.

Unfortunately, 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 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
