A British couple decided to go to Spain during a particularly chilly autumn. They planned to stay at the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier.
Because of hectic schedules, it was not possible to coordinate their travel schedules. So, the husband left Leeds/Bradford and flew to Barcelona on Thursday, his wife was to fly 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 Sheffield, a widow had just returned home from her husband's funeral. He was a vicar who died following a heart attack. The widow decided to check her emails 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: July 10 2010
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 see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow.
Looking forward to seeing you then! Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.
