About halfway through the first quarter, Bob noticed an empty seat 10 rows off the field right on the 50-yard-line. He decided to take a chance and made his way through the stadium and around the security guards to the empty seat.
As he sat down, he asked the gentleman sitting next to him, "Excuse me, is anyone sitting here?" The man said, "No." Very excited to be in such a great seat for the game, Bob said to the man, "This is incredible! Who in their right mind would have a seat like this to the Super Bowl and not use it?"
The man replied, "Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. I was supposed to come here 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."
"That's really sad," said Bob, "but still, couldn't you find someone to take the seat? A relative or a close friend?"
"No," the man replied, "They're all at the funeral."
