A [insert your football team] fan was enjoying himself at the game in a packed [name of your stadium], until he noticed an empty seat down in front.

He went down and asked the guy next to it if he knew whose seat it was.

The guy said, “Yes, that’s my wife’s seat. We have never missed a game since the [famous player from 20-30 years ago] days, but now my wife is dead.”

The fan offered his sympathy and said it was really too bad that he couldn’t find some relative to give the ticket to and enjoy the game together.

“Oh no.” the guy said. “They’re all at the funeral.”
