Default Typos can be hazardous

We've all had typos creep in while we type. Well, this one fella I heard about really messed up.


It seems this older couple decided to take a break from the dreary winter weather up here in Canuckaland. Two weeks in Florida was about right, they figured, and they made travel plans.

Now, the wife had to fly to Calgary for some important meeting before she would be able to take time off, so the husband said he'd fly ahead, alone, and make sure the hotel room and all the rest was all set to go, that way she'd be able to relax the minute she got there.

Hubby flys down from Toronto, checks in, makes various reservations, arranges a rental car, contacts a few year-round resident friends and so forth. The he e-mails his wife to let her know everything is ready. He mis-typed exactly one character in the e-mail address without noticing, and fired the e-mail off.


Now, it seems there was a very recently widowed woman who had just buried her husband that very day. After the funeral is done and she gets away from the kids and other family to be alone for a few minutes, she decides to check her e-mail, hoping to take her mind off losing her husband.

Her kids hear her shriek of horror and a thud. Assuming the worst, the kids go pelting upstairs and all but break down the bedroom door to their mom passed out on the floor. One of the daughters notices the e-mail, and reads it.

"Dearest wife, I have arrived safely. They've recently installed computer terminals in all the rooms and I can now e-mail directly from here. Isn't that great?

I've been talking to all our friends down here, and we are all waiting for your arrival tomorrow. Oh, by the way, it is hotter than you would believe down here.

Love ya, see ya soon!
