This came from TigerRoar.com kinda long, enjoy:

There was this guy who LOVED LSU football. The only problem was that he lived in the northeast and it was nearly impossible to make any games. It was his dream to go to Tiger Stadium to see the Tigers play Alabama. One year, he scrimped and saved and cut every corner possible, and he was able to buy a ticket.

Unable to afford a plane ticket, he hitchhiked to the game, and got to his seat (way up in the nosebleed section) ready to watch his dream game. His seats really suck. He’s way in the middle of nowhere, and even has a pole in front of him that he has to lean sideways to see around, but at least he’s there!

He’s scanning the crowd, and he sees that ONE seat, way down in the middle, only 5 rows off the 50-yard line is empty! Jesus, how the heck could someone pay that much for a ticket and not show up!?!? This is driving the poor guy crazy, so he has to find out what’s going on.

During halftime, he runs down and makes it to the empty seat. It’s a 2-person box, and there is a guy in the other seat.

He says, “Is that your seat?”

The guy says, “Yeah, it’s my wife’s seat. We come here together every year.”

He says, “Well, where is she?”

The guy says, “She passed away…”

So, he says “Geez… Sorry to hear that. So, why’d you come alone?”

The guy says, “I couldn’t get anyone to come with me.”

He says, “What? Are you nuts? You couldn’t find a friend or brother or cousin, or ANYONE?!?!?!”

And the guy says “Nope. They all wanted to go to the funeral.”
