Joke of the Week #4

George wins a Super Bowl ticket over the radio, but when he gets there, the seat is all the way over on the 50-yard line. Through his binoculars, he sees an empty seat up in the bleachers. He decides to take a chance, and makes his way past the security guards to the empty seat.

As he's sitting down, he asks the guy in the next seat, "Excuse me, but is this seat taken?"

The guy says, "No, go right ahead."

George says, "This is incredible! Who would have a seat like this and not use it?"

The guy says, "Well, actually, this seat belongs to me. I used to come here with my wife, but she passed away. This is the first Super Bowl we haven't seen together since we got married in 1971."

George says, "Wow, that's really sad, but couldn't you find anyone to come with you? A friend or a close relative?"

The guy says, "No, they're all at the funeral."
