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

As he sat down, he noticed
tha...t 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."
