The empty seat
It’s the
game of the ice
championship and the famous Stanley Cup. A
goes to his seat in the
not far from the Canadian players’
bench. He
notices that the seat
his is empty. He
leans towards his neighbor and asks him if
would be taking the seat.
No, replies his neighbor, the seat is vacant
That’s
, replies the man. Who would be
enough to have a seat at the final of the Stanley Cup and not
turn up?
His neighbor replies :
Well, in fact, the seat
belongs to me. I should have been accompanied by my
, but she
recently. It’s the
she won’t be with me for the final of the Stanley cup since our
wedding in 1967.
Oh, I’m really
to hear that, said the first man. That’s
. But why didn’t you find someone else to
to the
with you ; a
or a
of your
?
The man
shook his head.
They’ve all gone to the funeral!
