Priorities (Superbowl)
A guy named Bill receives a free ticket to the SuperBowl from
his company.
Unfortunately, when Bill arrives at the stadium, he realizes the
seat is in the last row in the corner of the stadium, he's closer
to the Goodyear Blimp than the field. About halfway through the
first quarter, Bill sees through his binoculars an empty seat 10
rows off the field right on the 50 yardline.
He decides to take a chance and makes his way through the stadium
and around the security guards to the empty seat.
As he sits down, Bill asks the gentleman sitting next to him, "Excuse
me, is anyone sitting here?" The man says "No."
Now, very excited to be in such a great seat for the game, Bill
again inquires of the man next to him, "This is incredible! Who in
their right mind would have a seat like this at the SuperBowl and
not use it?!"
The man replies, "Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. I was
supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away. This is the first
SuperBowl we haven't been together at since we got married in 1967."
"Well, that's really sad," said Bill, "but still, you couldn't
find anyone to take the seat? A friend or close relative?"
"No," the man replies, "They're all at the funeral."
