I got this in an e-mail and I can’t help myself. I simply must post it… Please enjoy.

Superbowl Sunday

November 8th, 1999

A guy named Joe received a free ticket to the SuperBowl from his company. Unfortunately, when Joe arrived at the stadium, he realized that his seat is in the last row, in the corner of the stadium. He's closer to the Goodyear Blimp than the field.

About halfway through the first quarter, Joe sees through his binoculars an empty seat, 10 rows off the field, right on the 50 yardline.

He decides to take a chance and makes his way through the stadium and around the security guards to the empty seat.

As he sits down, Joe asks the gentleman sitting next to him, "Excuse me, is anyone sitting here?"

The man says "No."

Now, very excited to be in such a great seat for the game, Joe again inquires of 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 replies, "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 together at since we got married in 1967."

"Well, that's really sad," said Joe, "but still, you couldn't find anyone to take the seat? A friend or close relative?"

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