A man had great tickets for the World Cup Final. As he sits down, another man comes down and asks if anyone is sitting in the empty seat next to him.
"No," he says. "The seat is empty."
"This is incredible!" says the other man. "Who in their right mind would have a seat like this for the World Cup Final, the biggest sporting event, and not use it?"
"Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. My wife was supposed to come with me, but she passed away. This is the first World Cup Final we haven't been to together since we got married.
"Oh ... I'm sorry to hear that. That's terrible. But 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..."

as someone whose hubby is a football obsessive- even to th extent that I had to change the dates of my parents' golden wedding party due to a match (after sending out the invites) it realy stuck a chord wth me!!!!

I have heard this one before - but it's still funny!!

My husband found this very amusing, because believe me this really would happen in my house.
