IIIIt's Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, and a man makes his
way to his seat right at center ice. He sits down, noticing
that the seat next to him is empty. He leans over and asks
his neighbor if someone will be sitting there.
"No," says the neighbor. "The seat is empty."
"This is incredible", said the man. "Who
in their right mind would have a seat like this for final
game of the Stanley Cup playoffs and not use it?"
The neighbor says "Well, actually, the seat belongs
to me. I was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed
away. This is the first Stanley Cup we haven't been to 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 shakes his head "No. They're all at the funeral."
