If you are someone that enjoys going to sporting events, then you probably have at least a favorite type of sport that you enjoy watching. For some, it may be basketball or you may enjoy a relaxing afternoon at a baseball game. Regardless of what sport you happen to enjoy, most people would be jealous if they heard that somebody they knew was going to the Super Bowl. It’s the biggest game of the year, regardless of the sport you are talking about and having seats to the Super Bowl is like winning the lottery. That is where this joke comes in, because when a man finds an empty seat at the Super Bowl, it really makes him curious.
Steve had 50 yard line tickets for the Super Bowl.
As he sat down, he noticed that the seat next to him was empty. He asked the man on the other side of the empty seat whether anyone was sitting there.
“No,” the man replied, “If you must know, the seat is empty.”
“This is incredible,” said Steve.
“Who in their right mind would have a seat like this for the Super Bowl, the biggest sporting event in the nation and not use it?”
The man replied, “Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. I was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away.
This will be the first Super bowl we haven’t been together since we got married in 1967.”
“Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. That’s terrible. But couldn’t you find someone else — a friend or relative, or even a neighbor to take the seat?”
The man shook his head. “No, they’re all at the funeral.”
