A friend sent this to me and I found it amusing, so I thought I’d post it:
Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules. So, the husband left Minnesota and flew to Florida on Thursday, with his wife flying down the following day.
The husband checked into the hotel. There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an email to his wife. However, he accidentally left out one letter in her email address, and without realizing his error, sent the email.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Houston, a widow had just returned home from her husband’s funeral. He was a minister who was called home to glory following a heart attack.
The widow decided to check her email expecting messages from relatives and friends. After reading the first message, she screamed and fainted.
The widow’s son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:
To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I’ve Arrived
Date: October 16, 2008
I know you’re surprised to hear from me. They have computers here now and you are allowed to send emails to your loved ones. I’ve just arrived and have been checked in.
I’ve seen that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then!!!! Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.
P. S. Sure is freaking hot down here!!!!
Very cute, Amy!
It is amusing for sure, but for some reason I can’t completely enjoy it. The setup is too farfetched IMO for this sort of joke. The second half is funny enough to almost make up it. Almost.
Then again, it’s certainly better than any joke I’ve written in the past ten years, so take any criticisms from me with a pinch of salt (just not in the eye please).
I will be sure to track down the originator of the joke and warn them to increase their intake of sodium chloride.
Just not in the eye.
Aye.
