afl joke

It's the AFL grand final , and a man makes his way to his
seat at the MCG. He sits down, noticing that the seat
next to him is empty.

He leans over and asks his neighbour if someone will be sitting there.
"No," says the neighbour. "The seat is empty."

"This is incredible", said the man. "Who in their right mind would have
a seat like this for final and not use it?"

The neighbour says "Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. I was
supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away. This is the first
final we haven't been to together since we got married in 1967."

"Oh . I'm sorry to hear that. That's terrible. But couldn't you 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 the funeral."
