A lesson to be learned from typing the wrong email address !!


A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier.

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, 2005

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 !!

Get prepared for documenting

The local bar was so sure that its bartender was the strongest man around that they offered a standing  CHF 1000 bet.
The bartender would squeeze a lemon until all the juice ran into a glass, and hand the lemon to a patron.
Anyone who could squeeze one more drop of juice out would win the money.

Many people had tried.... over time: weightlifters, longshoremen, etc., but nobody could do it.

One day, this scrawny little fellow came into the bar, wearing thick glasses and a polyester suit, and said in a small voice, "I'd like to try the bet."

After the laughter had died down, the bartender said, "OK"; grabbed the lemon; and squeezed away.

Then he handed the wrinkled remains of the rind to the little fellow.

But the Crowd's laughter turned to total silence.... as the man clenched his little fist around the lemon.... and six drops fell into the glass.

As the crowd cheered, the bartender paid the CHF 1000, and asked the little man:
"What do you do for a living? Are you a lumberjack, a weight-lifter, or what?"

The little fellow quietly replied:

"I work for The Cantonal Tax Office "

Thanks, Jeff, and bon voyage, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year – and  here’s to the 2015 series!

"And with that I wish you all a very merry xmas and a happy new year. I am off for a couple of weeks to the lands of Jandals,Esky's,Stubbies, TimTams, Pavlova and xmas dinner on the Barbie....!!"

Enjoy your time in Oz Jeff. Don't forget your thongs and togs. Very jealous of you having some warm weather and BBQ, but at least I have a cupboard full of TimTams, Cherry Ripes and Caramelo Koalas (thanks to visitors) to get us through the festive season here in Geneva.

Thanks Julianne - the pavlova and jandals applied to NZ !! (I know you aussies like to claim them..just like Split Enz and Russell Crowe...on second thoughts you can keep him !!)

Enjoy your cupboard !!!

Thanks Ritchie. Be sure to keep averyone on their toes while I am gone !!!

Oo-err .. does this mean promotion?  And what’s it worth?

I’ll probably have to buy a lot of crusts in 2015, seeing as how I don’t, like some I know, have cupboards full of exotic goodies.

Our Western Australians say 'jandals'. The tim tams are ours...and I am happy to disown Russell Crowe. Now if you had said you were having "fush and chups" for dinner, I would have known instantly.

Either way, you will be closer to Oz than me, and will still have nice weather, so enjoy and travel safely.

Juliane

You can;t be promoted when you are at the top !!!

The higher they go, the harder they fall.

And it don’t arf hurt!

Perhaps I shouldn't have joined.
