Text to a Neighbor
Hi, Max. This is Gary, your next door neighbor.
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. When you're not around, I've been sharing your wife, day and night, probably much more than you. I haven't been getting it at home recently. I know that's no excuse. The temptation was just too great.
I can't live with the guilt & hope you'll accept my sincere apology and forgive me.
Max, feeling enraged and betrayed, grabbed his gun, went next door, and shot Gary dead.
He returned home, shot his wife, poured himself a stiff drink and sat down on the sofa.
Max then looked at his phone and discovered a second text message from Gary.
SECOND TEXT MESSAGE:
Hi, Max. Gary here again. Sorry about the typo on my last text.
I assume you figured it out and noticed that the darned Spell-Check had changed "wi-fi" to "wife."
Technology, huh? It'll be the death of us all.
