Things are not always as the seem

Things are not always as they seem:

 

Theatre Seats for Seniors

 

An old man lay sprawled across three entire seats in the theatre. When the usher came by and noticed this, he whispered to the old man, "Sorry sir, but you're only allowed one seat." The old man didn't budge. The usher became more impatient. "Sir, if you don't get up from there I'm going to have to call the manager." Once again, the old man just muttered and did nothing. The usher marched briskly back up the aisle, and in a moment he returned with the manager.

 

Together the two of them tried repeatedly to move the old dishevelled man, but with no success. Finally they summoned the police.

 

The officer surveyed the situation briefly then asked, "All right buddy what's your name?" "Fred," the old man moaned. "Where are you from, Fred?" asked the police officer. With a terrible grunt and without moving Fred replied...

 

"The balcony."
