A guy named Bob receives a free ticket to the Superbowl 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 t 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 fifty 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 inquires again of the man next to him, "This is incredible! Who in the 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 my wife, but she passed away. This is the first Superbowl 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" replies the man"they're all at the funeral. Taken from The Christian Weekly
