World Cup Final

World Cup Final

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.
