World Cup 'Final'ist
A man had great tickets for the World Cup Final. As he sits down, another man
comes over and asks if anyone is sitting in the seat next to him.
“No,” he says.
“The seat
is empty.”
“This is incredible!” said the man.
“Who in
their right mind would have a seat like this for the World Cup Final, the
biggest sporting event in the world - rugby at its best - and not use it?”
He says,
“Well,
actually, the seat belongs to me. My wife was supposed to come with me, but she
passed away. This is the first World Cup Final we haven't been to together since
we got married.”
“Oh… I'm sorry to hear that. That's terrible. But couldn't you find someone else
- a friend or relative, or even a neighbour to take the seat?”
The man shakes his head.
“No
they're all at the funeral.”
