A man has tickets for the final big game of the season, the Superbowl. After he has been sitting in his seat for a few minutes, the man in the seat behind him taps him on the shoulder and asks if anyone is sitting in the seat next to him.
"No," he says. "The seat is empty."
"Absolutely incredible!" said the man. "Who in their right mind would have a seat like this for the big game, one of the great sporting events, and not use it?"
"Well actually," he says, "the seat belonged to my wife. She was supposed to come with me but she passed away. This is the first one we haven't been to together since we got married."
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that," replies the man. "That's terrible. But couldn't you find someone else to take the seat? A friend or relative, or even a neighbour?"
The man shakes his head and says, "No, they're all at the funeral."
