The Rugby Fan. . .

[Phil Perry]

A man had two of the best tickets for the Rugby World Cup Final.

 

As he sits down, another man comes along and asks if anyone is

 

sitting in the seat next to him. "No .... ," he says, "the seat is

 

empty.

 

"This is incredible ........ !" said the man, "who in their right mind would

 

have a seat like this for the Rugby Cup Final, the biggest sporting event of

 

the Rugby World and not use it ......?

 

He says, "Well actually, the seat belongs to me. My wife was supposed to com

 

with me, but she passed away,. . ..

 

This is the first Cup Final we haven't been to, together, since we got married ..... ....

 

"Oh . . .. I'm sorry to hear that. That's terrible. I guess you couldn't 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."

Always at weddings when I was a young man my Grandmothers would annoyingly poke me in the ribs saying "Your next" ...

 

The very next funeral we attended I repaid them in kind, that stopped them.
