A man receives 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 is closer to the Goodyear Blimp than the field. <
>
<
>
About halfway through the first quarter he 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 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 <
>
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 together at since we <
>
got married in 1967." <
>
<
>
"Well, that's terribly sad. But 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."
