@ One Misspelled Email Address

Some days you just need a really funny email story.

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 plans. 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

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.

P.S. sure is really hot down here!!!!

Jet Ski + Jet Pack = JetLev

It looks dangerous and is, reportedly, incredibly expensive, but there is no denying the near-maximal awesome factor of the Jetlev Flyer. Power comes from a four-stroke engine in a small “boat” which drags in the water behind/below the flying harness, and to which it is tethered by a big yellow hose that supplies high-pressure water and prevents the operator from exceeding a safe altitude.

Pants on the Ground

For anyone who missed this excerpt from American Idol, its been all over the radio and Internet today. It’s a parody of those young people who wear their pants too low to the ground. Any 62 year-old who can do a split like that is OK in my book.

Some Days You Just Can’t Get Rid of a Bomb

Things have be quiet lately, which made me think of this clip from the 1966 Batman movie.

The funny thing is when I was young, I took this show so seriously but when you watch it as an adult you get such a different perspective.

At least Batman was looking out for the people in the bar!
