Auto-correct can be such a help but also irritating at times. The following warns us about always proof-reading our e-mails before we send them! Yikes!
TEXT TO NEIGHBOR:
Hi, Fred, this is Richard, next door. I've got a confession to make.
I've been riddled with guilt for a few months and have been trying to get up the courage to tell you face-to-face. At least I'm telling you in this text and now I will feel better about it.
The truth is that when you're not around, I've been sharing your wife, day and night. In fact, probably much more than you. I haven't been getting it at home recently and I know that that's no excuse. I can't live with the guilt and hope you'll accept my sincere apology and forgive me.
Please suggest a fee for usage and I'll pay you.
Regards,
Richard
NEIGHBOR'S RESPONSE:
Fred, feeling so angered and betrayed, grabbed his gun and shot Richard -- killing him. He went back home and poured himself a stiff drink and sat down on the sofa. Fred then looked at his phone and discovered a second Text message from Richard.
SECOND TEXT MESSAGE:
Hi, Fred. Richard here again. Sorry about the typo on my last text. I think you figured it out by now and noticed that the damned Auto-Correct had changed "wi-fi" to "wife". Technology, huh???
It'll be the death of us all.
Regards,
Richard
