Wrong Email Address
An Honest Mistake Creates Havoc32 total reviews

Thesis, you got that right. Something certainly went wrong.
Sounds kinda like a story I heard once about a man dying, but before he died, told his wife he would try to get in touch with her after death. This other man went to their tropical/Florida/desert/whatever vacation spot one day earlier and emailed his wife, with the wrong email address, of course. The new widow read it and fainted. Something like, "It sure is hot here, can't wait til you arrive", with a bunch of other same type wording. It's very funny.
I like your post. You stand a very good chance in the contest. Well done, pat

Comment from Judith Ann
This is funny, but I bet it will ring true to some who have erred in this fashion. Blind dates via e-mail can be disastrous or hilarious as you so aptly wrote. Thanks for writing this humorous piece. We need laughter and lots of it. -Judy

I don't know, Jada. This guy has a lot of issues to deal with. Like his friend said, I think he's on his own with figuring this one out. Right now, the girl is probably better off not being a part of this mess, lol. - John

Thesis,
The photo you used is great. The guy in drag is one ugly woman. Talk about getting the wrong email address. The poor guy exchanged racy emails with a dude. A funny and well written story for the Valentine writing assignment writing prompt.

Talk about getting the wrong address. How easy would this be to do? Super easy and I wonder how many times it's happened.
Good entry to this contest. Best of luck.

This is a great entry, John. I can understand how something like this could happen by hitting the wrong letter or number. At least he was very receptive.

Comment from Joan E.
(Just a tiny point, but Shelly will get really mad at you for changing the period to a comma in the required phrase.) Your story was hilarious, and I felt that it had to have at least an element of truth in it, because "truth is stranger than fiction." I also enjoyed your contemporary use of "dude" and email address confusion. Best wishes in the contest.

Thanks for pointing that out, Joan. See what short term memory loss does. I can't even remember the punctuation on four words from the contest to a blank sheet. How sad. Thanks for the comments, I'm happy you enjoyed this silly story. - Thesis

Don't be so hard on yourself. I take gingko bilboba when I remember to swallow the pill with a meal! I just didn't want you to get disqualified over some trivial point, when your story is so good. See you in your next work. -Joan
