        Sorry, but that’s just not funny. There is so much devastation and it is not close to being contained. Bad judgment and timing on your part.

        Same thing happened to me today. I sent an unimportant email to Eric but accidentally sent it to a different Eric than I intended. Big time Jimbo-whoopsie-Daisy for me and the firefighters. Let me know if you would like to use my story and likeness for a featured article.
