A man had 50 yard line tickets for the
Super Bowl.

As he sat down, he noticed that the seat next to
him was empty.

He asked the man on the other side of the empty seat
whether anyone was sitting there.

"No," the man replied, "The seat
is empty."

"This is incredible," said the first man.

"Who in
their right mind would have a seat like this for the Super Bowl, the
biggest sporting event in the world and not use it?"

The second man
replied, "Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. I was supposed to come
with my wife, but she passed away.

This will be the first Super
bowl we haven't been together since we got married in 1967."

"Oh,
I'm sorry to hear that. That's terrible. But couldn't you find someone
else -- a friend or relative, or even a neighbor to take the
seat?"

The man shook his head.. "No, they're all at the
funeral."
