OMG, mine is so similar to that! I used to be on the
board of a local festival. We were having problems
with the past chair of the board, so the current chair
and I sat and wrote an email, intending it to go into
the 'draft' folder and be re-done and sent later.
Let's face it, we were really bitching in the first
draft, and ended it with the words 'toe the line,
a*****e'. Needless to say, the send button got hit
instead of the save button. Yup, same result. He
brought it to the next board meeting!

Sheryll, no longer on that board, but for other
reasons :)
