The Man
A man had 50 yard line tickets for the Super Bowl. As he sat down, he
noticed that the seat next to him was empty. He asked the man on the
other side of the empty seat whether anyone was sitting there.
"No," the man replied, "The seat is empty."
"This is incredible," said
the first 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?"
The second man replied, "Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. I
was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away. This will be 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 shook his head. "No, they're all at her funeral." |
