NFC Championship game A guy goes to the NFC championship game. He's got great seats, right on the 50 yard line. He looks over and there is an old man sitting next to an empty seat. So he asks, Do you know who this seat belongs to? The old man says yes, my wife and I have been coming to these games for 40 years. That used to be her seat before she passed away. Oh, sorry for your loss. Why leave it empty? Why not bring a friend or family member? I would have he says, but they are all at her funeral.
