World Cup Joke

A man has tickets for the 2010 World Cup final. After he has been sitting in his seat for a few minutes, the man in the seat behind him taps him on the shoulder and asks if anyone is sitting in the seat next to him.

"No," he says. "The seat is empty."

"Absolutely incredible!" said the man. "Who in their right mind would have a seat

like this for the World Cup Final, one of the great sporting events, and not use

it?"

"Well actually," he says, "the seat belonged to my wife. She was supposed to come

with me but she passed away. This is the first World Cup final we haven't been

together since we got married."

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that," replies the man. "That's terrible. But couldn't you

find someone else to take the seat? A friend or relative, or even a neighbour ?"

The man shakes his head and says, "No, they're all at the funeral.
