A couple had been fortunate enough to get  great  tickets  for  a  hit
Broadway  show  months  in  advance.  They planned their entire annual
vacation trip around the night of the  concert  and  were,  obviously,
very excited about the show.  When they got to the show they found out
it had been sold out for some time, but one seat next  to  the  couple
was  vacant.   The couple couldn't believe somebody would buy a ticket
and not come.

When intermission came the seat was still vacant, so the man  said  to
the  woman  on  the  other  side  of  the vacant seat "Can you imagine
somebody not using their ticket and coming to this show?"

The woman said "I have the ticket. It was my husband's seat. We bought
the tickets months ago and he was so much looking forward to the show.
Unfortunately he passed away before he got the chance to see it."

The man was very embarrassed and said "I'm terribly  sorry!  I  didn't
know.  Pardon me for asking, but couldn't you have asked somebody else
to come with you?  A friend or relative?"

The woman said "I tried to get somebody to come with me,  but  they're
all at the funeral."

I heard this on Chuck Swindol's "Insight for Living"
