A guy named Bob received a free ticket for the Super Bowl from his
company.  When he arrived at the stadium and found his seat, he realized
he was closer to the Goodyear Blimp than the field.  Good thing he
brought binoculars.

During the second commercial break, he was looking at the people in the
stands across the stadium from him when he spotted an empty seat.  It
was about 10 rows up from the field, right on the 50 yard line.  The
seat was still empty after the next commercial break so he decided to
take a chance and try to get that seat.  He made his way around the
stadium, bypassed the security guards, and climbed over several people
to reach the seat.

Before sitting down, he said the the man in the next seat, "Excuse me,
is anyone sitting here?"  The man said, "No".  At this point, Bob was
very excited to be in such a great seat for the game.  He inquired of
the man next to him, "Who in their right mind would have such a great
seat for 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 were married in 1967."

"Wow, that's really sad," says Bob.  "But I don't understand why you
couldn't find someone to used the seat."  "You know, a relative or a
close friend?"

"No," the man replies, "they're all at the funeral."
