My silly something.

A young man in the the US won a ticket to watch Superbowl. He was overjoyed, he loved Superbowl but could never get a ticket. On the day, he arrived at the stadium and found his seat, but it was way up in row ZZZ and the view was not great. He noticed an empty seat way own front. He waited for 10 minutes and when nobody sat there he decide to nip down. An old gentleman was in the next seat, the young man asked if anybody was sitting there. "No" said the old gent "please sit down." The young man was overjoyed and told the old gent how amazed he was that nobody was sitting there. "The seat was for my wife, who has died." Said the old gent, "we were married for 50 years and saw our first Superbowl on our honeymoon and have seen every Superbowl since, this is my first one without my wife." The young man expressed his sorrow and asked the old gent why he had not offered the ticket to a relative or close friend. "I would have done." Said the old boy, "but they are all at the funeral."
