Super Bowl Seat

Ben had 50 yard line tickets for the Super Bowl. As he sat down, another man comes down and asked Ben if anyone is sitting in the seat next to him

"No", he said, "the seat is empty".

"That's incredible", said the man. "Who in their right mind would have a seat like this for the Super Bowl , the biggest sport event in the world, and not use it ?"

Somberly, Ben said, "Well... the seat actually belongs to me. I was supposed to come here with my wife, but she passed away. This is the first Super Bowl we have not been 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 neighbor to take the seat?"

Ben shook his head , "No. They're all at the funeral."

Yikes!
As horrible as that sounds, I could see that really happening! Some guys are obsessed with football. Or the husband might request the body to be put in a freezer until the game is over. LOL!

That's disgusting. It seems like you've had first-hand experience with this sort of thing, jmax123. It might not be as funny if someone did that to you.

Oh you took that seriously? I thought it was meant as a joke.

Dear Doc:
This blog ties in with Dr. Sapna's report on how to stay calm while watching the Super Bowl. As she said sadly, some people have suffered heart attacks during or after the game. People should cheer, but don't overdo it. Let's go Giants!
Peace and blessings,
Calmax.

As always, thanks for your contributions Jane & Calmax.
isleOfUrnKnee....if Jane's husband did that to her, she wouldn't know anyway, because she'd be dead!!...LOL

That all depends on your religious beliefs...I don't want to get into the nitty-gritty of my belief system, but I'm pretty sure one's spirit hovers for some time after death, in which case Mrs. Jane would find out that her husband dumped her body into a Frigidaire.

isleOfUrnKnee...
I'm not religious(I am spiritual)...but I"m "pretty sure" that a dead body, has no feelings, since "life" has been exhausted from it.
Therefore, is it your suggestion, that the dead body's spirit, would have hurt feelings, as a result of the surviving husband's actions(as noted in Jane's quip)?
Wouldn't that then fly in the face of the belief system that death, brings about eternal "peace" to one's soul, through heaven or some other other-worldly place?
Just a philosophical thought, to challenge your assertion.
Thanks for your input, isleOfUrnKnee!

You bring up a good point, DrDNP18. I was wrong in saying that Mrs. Jane would feel badly about her husband's actions, however, I still believe that she would be made aware of them. Perhaps instead of feeling angry she would feel pity. I cannot and should not speculate further. My time is coming soon, according to this Death Clock my kind neighbor gave me for Christmas, so I'll let you know once I've crossed over. I hope that once I've passed I will magically be given internet access so that I can send you messages from the other side.

As much I hope that doesn't happen to you, isleOfUrnKnee, I'm flattered that you would consider me, for electronic, posthumous communication.
Forgive me, but I'm instantly seeing this as a potential business coup, which I'd be more than willing to share proceeds, with your surviving estate. Your journey, as shared through your prospective emails, could be a woderful breakthrough, for htose who closely follow such matters! We can dot the i's & cross the t's, as to the business issues, when such matters become relevant.
For now, I only wish the best of continuing health & properity, on a human level!!

Doc,

I think you and your side-kick are getting a little carried away with "my death" here. I thought this was just a humorous blog, but now it is getting a little to strange for me, so carry on without me if you want.

isleOfUrnKnee is hardly my side-kick.
From my few dealings with her, I believe she's a pleasant woman who enjoys blogging, like the rest of us.
Very well...
I actually found this to be a somewhat interesting philosophical discussion, with a tinge of silliness!

I find low-level amateur poetry, on the internet, to be a crime against art, language and intellect. We often see examples of these artistic travesties, suffering from a level of saccharine sentimentality that would make both the Osmond family and Hallmark greeting card authors vomit! As the social rules go for nose-picking, perhaps they should also be applied to the need for one to express oneself, in this high order of literary craftsmanship....if you have to do it, do it in private! I must quote the visionary Elie Weisel, when he said, "There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest".
