This actually happened to a guy last year...
 

A man had 50 yard line tickets for the 2010 Saints vs Colts Super Bowl.

As he sat down, he noticed that the seat next to him was empty. He asked the man on the other side (an obvious Saints fan) of the empty seat whether anyone was sitting there.

"No," the man replied, "The seat is empty."

"This is incredible," said the first man. "Who in their right mind would have a seat like this for the Saints 1st Super Bowl, the biggest sporting event in the world and not use it?"

The second man replied, "Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. I was supposed to come with my wife. She always attends every Saints game, but she passed away. This will be the first game 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." ;)

:bng:

Didn't actually happen.It's an old joke but,funny none the less.

Just thought I'd use it since this is our last few hours as champs.
