Football Stadium Seats

A guy named Bob receives a free ticket to the Super Bowl
from his company. Unfortunately, when Bob arrives at the
stadium he realizes the seat is in the last row in the
corner of the stadium -- he is closer to the Goodyear
Blimp than the field.

About halfway through the first quarter, Bob notices an
empty seat 10 rows off the field right on the 50 yard
line.  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, he 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,
Bob again inquires of the man next to him, "This is
incredible!  Who in their right mind would have a seat
like this at the Super Bowl 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 Super Bowl we haven't been to together
since we got married in 1967."

"Well, that's really sad," says Bob, "but still, couldn't
you find someone to take the seat?  A relative or a close
friend?"

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