Email to wrong wife.

This is voted as the best e-mail joke in Australia in 2001.

After being snowbound for nearly two weeks last winter, a Seattle man

departed for his vacation in Miami Beach, where he was to meet his wife

the next day at the conclusion of her business trip to Minneapolis. They

were looking forward to pleasant weather and a nice time together.

Unfortunately, there was some sort of mix up at the boarding gate, and the

man was told he would have to wait for a later flight. He tried to appeal

to a supervisor but was told the airline was not responsible for the

problem and it would do no good to complain. Upon arrival at the hotel the

next day, he discovered that Miami Beach was having a heat wave, and its

weather was almost as uncomfortably hot as Seattle’s was cold. The desk

clerk gave him a message that his wife would arrive as planned. He could

hardly wait to get to the pool area to cool off, and quickly sent his wife

an e-mail,but due to his haste, he made an error in the e-mail address.

His message therefore arrived at the home of an elderly preacher’s wife

whose even older husband had died only the day before! When the grieving

widow opened her e-mail, she took one look at the monitor, let out an

anguished scream, and fell to the floor dead. Her family rushed to her

room where they saw this message on the screen:

Dearest wife, Departed yesterday as you know. Just now got checked in.

Some confusion at the gate. Appeal was denied. Received confirmation of

your arrival tomorrow. Your loving husband. P.S. Things are not as we

thought. You’re going to be surprised at how hot it is down here.......
