If your name is “Chris,” you have to be extra careful when signing off.
I've signed off many an email as "Christ"

And let’s not forget the good ol’ “inconvenience” and “incontinence” switcheroo!
"apologies for any incontinence" (fortunately received rather than sent!)

Maybe telling someone that they “fart nice” could be construed as nice? In an alternate universe?
I emailed someone and told them they were "fart oo nice".

At least if you signed off like this, someone could feasibly think that you were making a (horrible) joke.
Breast Regards!

Bottom line: email correspondence can be terrifying, and we should all save our emails to “Drafts” before sending them, so we can double-check them thoroughly.
After all, that time you forget to spellcheck will inevitably be the ONE TIME when your phone decides to correct “duck” to “fuck.”
