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
