E-mail confusion:

After being nearly snowbound for two weeks during the winter, a Seattle man departed for 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 some warm, pleasant weather and enjoying a break from the children.
Unfortunately, there was a mix-up at the Departure Gate and the man was informed he would have to travel on a later flight. He tried to have the decision reversed but was told he had no alternative but to travel on the later flight.
On arrival, he found Miami Beach was having a heat wave and the weather was as uncomfortably hot, as Seattle's was cold. The receptionist gave him a message that his wife would arrive later in the day. He could hardly wait to get to the pool. So he hurriedly sent his wife an E-mail message, but because of' his haste trade an error in the address.

As it result, his message arrived at the home ofan elderly widow, whose preacher husband had been burial the day before. The grieving widow opened her E-mail took one look at the monitor, let out an anguished scream and promptly had a heart attack.
When her family found her, the following message was still on the screen:

Dearest Wife,
Departed yesterday as you know. Just now checked in.
Some confusion at the gate. Appeal was denied. Received confirmation of your arrival.
Your loving husband.
P.S: Things are not as we thought. You will be surprised how hot it is down here.
