A couple from Minneapolis decided to go to Florida for a long weekend to thaw
out during one particularly icy winter. Because both had jobs, they had difficulty
coordinating their travel schedules. It was decided that the husband would fly
to Florida on a Thursday and his wife would follow him the next day.
Upon arriving as planned, the husband checked into the hotel. There he decided
to open his laptop and send his wife an e-mail back in Minneapolis. However,
he accidentally left off one letter in her address, and sent the e-mail without
realizing his error.
Meanwhile, in Houston, a widow had just returned from her husband's funeral.
He was a minister of many years who had been "Called
Home to Glory" following a heart attack. The widow checked her e-mail,
expecting messages from relatives and friends.
Upon reading the first message, she fainted and fell to the floor. The widow's
son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor and saw the computer
screen which read:

is as uneventful as mine was.
