The Superbowl
---------------------------------
A man receives a free ticket to the SuperBowl 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 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 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 together 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." |
