A man had 50 yard line tickets for the Super Bowl. As he sits down, a
man comes down and asked the man if anyone is sitting in the seat next
to him.
“No”, he said, “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 sport event in the
world, and not use it?”
Somberly, the man says, “Well… the seat actually belongs to me. I
was supposed to come here with my wife, but she passed away. This is the
first Super Bowl we have not been 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.”
