Now, before I reveal the answers I’ll leave you with a little Super Bowl humor. It’s old, I know, but dang it, it’s funny:

A middle-aged man had 50-yard line tickets for the Super Bowl. As he sits down, another man comes down 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 Super Bowl, the biggest sporting event in the world, and not use it?”

The middle-aged man says, “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 to together since we got married in 1967.” “Oh, I’m so 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?”

The middle-aged man shakes his head. “No, they’re all at the funeral.”
