he sits down, another man comes along and asks if anyone is sitting in
the seat next to him. "No .... ," he says, "the seat is empty."
"This is incredible ..... !" said the man, "who in their right mind
would have a seat like this for the Rugby Cup Final, the biggest
sporting event of the Rugby World and not use it ....... ?"
He says, "Well actually, the seat belongs to me. My wife was
supposed to come with me, but she passed away. This is the first Cup
Final we haven't been to, together, since we got married .... ......"
"Oh . . .. I'm sorry to hear that. That's terrible. I guess you
couldn't find someone else, a friend, or relative, or even a
neighbour, to take the seat .... ?"
The man shakes his head . . .., "No ....... . They're all at her funeral."
