Loyal Fan

A Packer[s] fan wins a radio raffle to a Packer’s playoff game, and even though it’s in the corner of the stadium, closer to the Goodyear blimp than to the field, he’s happy. Then he notices an empty seat about ten rows up, almost on the fifty-yard line. He works his way over and asks if the seat is taken. the man next to it says no. He wonders aloud how someone would not use a ticket to a Packer game, and the man replied that the seat was his wife’s but that she died. He asked if the fellow didn’t have a relative or friend who would use the ticket, and the man replied, “Not really. They’re all at the funeral.”
