----- A guy named Bob receives a free ticket to the Superbowl from his
company. Unfortunately, when Bob arrives at the stadium he realizes
the seat is in the last row in the corner of the stadium -- he is
closer to the Goodyear Blimp than the field.
About halfway through the first quarter, Bob notices an empty seat 10
rows off the field right 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 the gentleman sitting
next to him, "Excuse me, is anyone sitting here?" The man says no.
Now, very excited to be in such a great seat for the game, Bob again
inquires of the man next to him, "This is incredible! Who in their
right mind would have a seat like this at t he 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 passed away. This is the first
Superbowl we haven't been to together since we got married in 1967."
"Well, that's really sad," says Bob, "but still, couldn't you find
someone to take the seat? A relative or a close friend?"
"No," the man replies, "they're all at Her funeral."
