ALMOST certainly apocryphal, but still interesting.
The story is of an e-mail that went astray. A businessman flew to Greece on a business and pleasure trip. When he arrived he e-mailed his wife to say he had landed safely and settled in the hotel.
Unfortunately, the silly man transposed a couple of letters, and one letter was sent to the bereaved widow those husband had been a vicar and who had been buried with full ecclesiastical ceremony that very day.
The poor woman opened the letter, screamed, and immediately collapsed into a deep faint. The bishop and her relatives rushed to her aid and on looking up saw he words still on her computer screen, it read: "Dearest wife, just a quick note to say I have settled in where we will abide together. Everything has been arranged for your arrival early tomorrow".
P.S. "Bring only very light clothing it is flaming hot down here".
