</TT><TT>After being nearly snowbound for two weeks last winter, </TT><TT>a Seattle </TT><TT>man </TT><TT>departed for his vacation in Miami Beach, </TT><TT>where he was to </TT><TT>meet his </TT><TT>wife the </TT><TT>next day at the conclusion </TT><TT>of her business trip </TT><TT>to Minneapolis. They </TT><TT>were </TT><TT>looking </TT><TT>forward to pleasant weather </TT><TT>and a nice time together. </TT><TT>Unfortunately, there was some sort of </TT><TT>mix-up at the </TT><TT>boarding gate, and </TT><TT>the </TT><TT>man was told he would have </TT><TT>to wait </TT><TT>for a later flight. He tried to </TT><TT>appeal </TT><TT>to a supervisor </TT><TT>but was told the airline was not responsible for the </TT><TT>problem and </TT><TT>it would do no good to complain.</TT>
<TT></TT>
<TT>Upon arrival at the hotel the next day, he discovered that </TT><TT>Miami </TT><TT>Beach </TT><TT>was </TT><TT>having a heat wave, and its weather was almost as </TT><TT>uncomfortably hot as </TT><TT>Seattle’s was cold. The desk clerk gave him </TT><TT>a message that his wife </TT><TT>would </TT><TT>arrive as planned. He could hardly </TT><TT>wait to get to the pool area to </TT><TT>cool </TT><TT>off, and quickly sent his </TT><TT>wife an e-mail, but due to his haste, he </TT><TT>made an </TT><TT>error in the </TT><TT>e-mail address. His message therefore arrived at the </TT><TT>home of </TT><TT>an </TT><TT>elderly preacher’s wife whose even older husband had died only </TT><TT>the </TT><TT>day </TT><TT>before. </TT><TT>When the grieving widow opened her e-mail, she took one look at </TT><TT>the </TT><TT>monitor, let out an anguished scream, and fell to the floor </TT><TT>dead. Her </TT><TT>family rushed to her room where they saw this message </TT><TT>on the screen:</TT>
<TT></TT>
<TT></TT><TT>Dearest Wife,</TT>
<TT></TT>
<TT>Departed yesterday as you know. Just now got checked in. Some </TT><TT>confusion </TT><TT>at the gate. Appeal was denied. Received confirmation </TT><TT>of your </TT><TT>arrival </TT><TT>tomorrow.</TT>
<TT></TT>
<TT>Your loving husband.</TT>
<TT></TT><TT></TT><TT>P.S. Things are not as we thought. You’re going to be surprised </TT><TT>at </TT><TT>how hot </TT><TT>is is down here.</TT><O
