A man had 50 yard line tickets for the Super Bowl. As he sits down, a
man comes down and asks if anyone is sitting in the seat next to him.
"No," he says, "The seat is empty."
"This is incredible," said the man. "Who
in their right mind would have a seat like this for the Super Bowl, the
biggest sporting event in the world, and not use it?"
He says, "Well, actually, the seat belongs
to me. I was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away. This is
the first Super bowl we haven't been to together since we got married in
1967."
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. That's
terrible. But couldn't you find someone else -- a friend or relative, or
even a neighbor to take the seat?".
The man shakes his head. "No,
they're all at the funeral."
