| Bob
received a free ticket to the Super bowl from his company. Unfortunately,
when Bob arrived at the stadium he realized the seat was in the the last
row in the corner of the stadium. He was closer to the Goodyear Blimp than
the field! About halfway through the first quarter, Bob noticed an empty
seat 10 rows off the field right on the 50-yard line. He decided to take a
chance and made his way through the the stadium and around the security
guards to the empty seat. As he sat down, he asked the gentleman sitting
next to him, "Excuse me, is anyone sitting here?" The man said
"No." Very excited to be in such a great seat for the game, Bob
said to 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 replied, "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 to together since we got married in 1967."
"That's really sad," said Bob, "but still, couldn't you
find someone to take the seat? A relative or a close friend?"
"No," the man replied, "they're all at the funeral." |
