A man had two of the best tickets for the Augusta Masters.
\nAs he sits down, another man comes along and asks if anyone is sitting inthe seat next to him.
\n”No”, he says, ”the seat is empty.\u201d
\n”This is incredible!” said the man, ”who in their right mind would have\u00a0a seat like this, the biggest golfing event of the whole world, and not use it?”
\nHe says, ”Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. My wife always would\u00a0come with me, but she passed away. This is the first Masters we haven’t\u00a0been to together since we got married.\u201d<\/p>\n
”Oh… I’m sorry to hear that. That’s terrible. I guess you couldn’t
\nfind someone else?.. a friend or relative or even a neighbour to take the seat?\u201d<\/p>\n
The man shakes his head…
\n….”No. They’re all at the funeral.
