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."
