JOKE OF THE DAY
There was a Packers fan with a really lousy seat at Lambeau Field. Using his binoculars, he spotted an empty seat on the 50-yard line. Thinking to himself "what a waste," he made his way down to the empty seat and asked the man sitting next to it if it was taken.
"This was my wife's seat," the man replied: "She passed away. She was a big Packers fan."
"I'm so sorry to hear of your loss," the other man replied: "May I ask why you didn't give the ticket to a friend or a relative?"
"I wanted to," the man replied: "but they're all at the funeral."
