　　An Illinois man left the snowy 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 dead. 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. Your Loving Husband. P.S. Sure is hot down here."

　　一位伊利诺斯州男士离开了漫天飞雪的芝加哥街道前往佛罗里达州度假。他的老婆此时正出差，并计划明天到那里与他会合。 当男士到达酒店时，他决定要老婆发一封简要的邮件。 由于找不到当时用来记录邮件地址的那张小破纸，他只能尽力凭借记忆写出了那个地址。 但不幸的是，他漏掉了一个字母，他的邮件没有发给他老婆，而是发给了一位老牧师的妻子，而且，那位老牧师刚好在前一天去世了。 那位悲伤的寡妇查看邮件时，看了一眼屏幕，然后就发出一声吓人的尖叫，倒在地板上，死了。 听到尖叫声，她的家人冲进房间，看到电脑屏幕上显示着一条信息： “最亲爱的老婆，（我）刚刚入住。 为你明天的到来已作好一切准备。你忠诚的老公。 附：这里真的好热啊！”
