Super Bowl Ticket

"Tough Final"*

*Two football players were taking an important final
exam. If they failed, they would be on academic
probation and not allowed to play in the Sugar Bowl
the following week. The exam was fill-in-the-blank.
The last question read, "Old MacDonald had a _________."

Bubba was stumped. He had no idea of the answer.
He knew he needed to get this one right to be sure
he passed. Making sure the professor wasn't watching,
he tapped Tiny on the shoulder.

"Pssst. Tiny. What's the answer to the last question?"

Tiny laughed. He looked around to make sure the
professor hadn't noticed then he turned to Bubba.

"Bubba, you're so stupid. Everyone knows Old MacDonald had a farm."

"Oh yeah," said Bubba. "I remember now." He picked up
his No. 2 pencil and started to write the answer in the
blank. He stopped. Reaching to tap Tiny's shoulder again,
he whispered, "Tiny, how do you spell farm?"

"You are really dumb, Bubba. That's so easy. Farm is spelled - E-I-E-I-O."

"Super Bowl Ticket"*

*A guy named Joe receives a free ticket to the Super
Bowl from his company. Unfortunately, when Joe
arrives at the stadium, he realizes the seat is in the
last row in the corner of the stadium, he's closer to
the Goodyear Blimp than the field. About halfway
through the first quarter, Joe sees through his
binoculars an empty seat 10 rows off the field right
on the 50 yard line.

He decides to take a chance and makes his way
through the stadium and around the security guards
to the empty seat. As he sits down, Joe asks the
gentleman sitting next to him, "Excuse me, is anyone sitting here?"

The man says, "No."

Now, very excited to be in such a great seat for the
game, Joe again inquires of the man next to him,
"This is incredible! Who in their right mind would have
a seat like this at the Super Bowl and not use it?!"

The man replies, "Well, actually, the seat belongs to
me. I was supposed to come with my wife, but she
passed away. This is the first Super Bowl we haven't
been together at since we got married in 1967."

"Well, that's really sad," said Joe, "but still, you
couldn't find anyone to take the seat? A friend or close relative?"

"No," the man replies, "They're all at the funeral."
