The Big Game
A man receives a free ticket to the Superbowl from his company.
Unfortunately, when he arrives at the stadium he realizes the seat is in
the last row in the very corner of the stadium. He is closer to the
Goodyear Blimp than the field.
About halfway through the first quarter he notices an empty seat 10 rows
from the field on the 50 yard line. He decides to take a chance and makes
his way through the stadium and around the security guards to the empty
seat.
As he sits down, he asks a gentleman sitting next to him, "Excuse me, is
anyone sitting here?" The man replies "No". Now, very excited to be in such
a great seat for the game, he again inquires of the man next to him, "This
is incredible! Who in their right mind would have a seat like this at the
Superbowl and not use it?"
The man replies, "Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. I was supposed to
come with my wife, but she recently passed away. This is the first
Superbowl we haven't been together at since we were married in 1965.
"Well, that's awfully sad. Still, couldn't you find someone to take
the seat? A relative or close friend?"
"No," the man replied, "they're all at the funeral."
