IT WAS A STUPID MISTAKE

            People keep asking me when I am sending in another “Letter to the Editor.”  My standard response has been, “When someone does something stupid!”

            BINGO!  Someone did.  The only problem is, that someone was me.

            Yesterday, a friend sent me an email that is a classic “male golfing buddy” type -- sexy, sexist and really, really funny   It was a story about a lady on an airliner who was headed for a nymphomaniac conference where she was to give the keynote address.  It was really a funny story..

            So, I proceeded to forward it to some of my coffee drinking friends, one in particular named “John.”  I must have hit the wrong key to call up his name on my email contact list and included the name of a local, well known lady.  I automatically hit “send” and then panicked when I saw this lady’s name included with my friend John.

            Sad thing about sent emails.  They go fast and it is impossible to retrieve them.

            I, of course, shared my concern with my wife whose only comment was, “Sure hope she has a sense of humor.”  No sign of support there at all.

            An apology has been sent by email and let us hope that I am never the stupid one again.  Incidentally, that email really was funny.
