I think that this would be me.
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 any 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 seat really sucked, He's way in the middle of nowhere, and even has a pole in front of him that he has to lean sideway to see around, but at least he is 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 money for a ticket and not show up?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!This is driving the poor guy crazy, so he has to find out what is goin on.
During halftime, he runs down and makes it to the empty seat.
He says, "Is that your seat?"
The guy says "yeah, it's my wifes seat, we come here together every year."
He say, "Well, where is she?"
The guy says, "She passed away"
So he says "Geeze....Sorry to hear that. So why did 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."
The first time I read that I really really really almost fell out of my chair laughing.
My children always said that that would probably be me, Neither one of my children got married during football season, cause they said they wanted me at the wedding.
