A young bloke saves every cent he can for months and finally saves enough to go to a bledisloe cup game (always sold out).
He takes his seat in the packed stadium and is totally amazed why there is a vacant seat next to him.
He leans over and asks an old gentleman on the other side of the seat whether he knew why the seat was vacant.
"Thats my wifes seat" the bloke replied.
"We have been coming the games together for years" he added.
"Where is she now ?" the young bloke asks.
"Unfortunatly, she passed away recently" the old fellow explains.
"Sorry to hear that" says the young bloke, "surely you could have found another family member to fill the spot".
"Couldn't" explains the old bloke.
"They're all at the funeral".
