As you are receiving my note by e-mail, it's wise to remember how easily
this wonderful technology can be misused, sometimes unintentionally, with
serious consequences. Consider the case of the Illinois man who left the
snow-filled 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 in a dead faint. 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
PS. Sure is hot down here.
