Why the Widow Fainted...

Got a joke too good to keep to yourself? This is where to put it. While all the other Campfires are expected to be reasonably 'serious' in nature, this is where we let our hair down.

Why the Widow Fainted...

#1 Post by erron » Tue Oct 24, 2006 6:11 pm

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, 2004

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.

PS: Sure is freaking hot down here.
