Would you believe it

Bob won a ticket to the Super Bowl. Approaching the stadium, he was
 extremely 

excited. Once he got inside, he couldn't find his seat. Finally he asked an 

usher to help him find his seat. The usher guided him to the top row. Then the 

usher pointed and said seat 25. Bob settled in his seat, and noticed he was 

almost as far from the field as possible. He pulled out a pair of binoculars, 

and could still barely make out the numbers on the players. He then gazed around 

the audience. He suddenly stopped as he came to an open seat in the first row. 

Bob packed up, and headed to his destination. 

Upon arriving he saw an old man,
 sitting by himself. Bob then asked "is this 

seat open?" "Sure, sit down, no one is sitting there." Bob was excited "Who 

would be crazy enough not to use a seat like this?" "I am." said the man. "My 

wife and I have come to every Super Bowl since 1968." "Where is she now?" "She 

passed away." "I am so sorry to hear that. Wasn't there a really close friend,
 

or family member you could have invited to the game?" "Nope, they're all at the 

funeral."
