It's the final of the rugby World Cup, and a man makes his way to his seat right at the centre of the stand. 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 a final game of the World Cup 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 World Cup 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".
"No", says the neighbour. "The seat is empty".
