The World Cup Final Seat

 

A man has great tickets for the World Cup Final. As he sits down,
another man asks if anyone is sitting in the empty seat next to him.

"No," he says. "The seat is empty."

"Incredible!" says the other man. "Who in their right mind would have a
seat like this for the World Cup Final and not use it?"

"Well, the seat belongs to me. My wife was supposed to come with, but
she passed away. This is the first World Cup Final we haven't been to
together since we got married."

"I'm sorry to hear that. 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."
