Unable to afford a plane ticket, he hitchhiked to
the game, and got to
his seat (way up in the nosebleed section) ready
to watch his dream
game. His seats really suck. He's way in
the middle of nowhere, and
even has a pole in front of him that he has to
lean sideways to see
around, but at least he's there!
He's scanning the crowd, and he sees that one seat,
way down in the
middle, only 5 rows off the 50-yard line is empty!
Gee's, how the
heck could someone pay that much for a ticket and
not show up!?!?
This is driving the poor guy crazy, so he has to
find out what's going
on. During half-time, he runs down and makes it
to the empty seat.
It's a 2-person box, and there
is a guy in the other seat.
He says, "Is that your seat?"
The guy says, "yea, it's my wife's seat.
We come here together every
year."
He says, "Well, where is she?"
The guy says, "She passed away..."
So, he says "gee... Sorry to hear that. So, why'd you come alone?
The guy says, "I couldn't get anyone to come with
me."
He says, "What? Are you nuts? You couldn't
find a friend or brother
or cousin, or ANYONE?!?!?!"
And the guy says "Nope. They all wanted to go to
the funeral."
