The Super Bowl Fan
A guy named Bob received a free ticket to the
Super Bowl from his company. Unfortunately, when he arrives at the stadium he
realizes the seat is in the last row in the corner of the stadium - he's 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 the Super Bowl 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 Super Bowl we haven't been
at 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 close friend?"
"No," the man replies,
"they're all at the funeral."
