This guy goes to the football...

This guy goes to the football to watch the Sydney Swans win.
After he enters the stadium he notices that it appears that all the seats have been taken. finally he finds what is the only empty seat in the place and sits down. He turns to the guy on his left and asks how come the seat was empty, the guy replies that
it was originally for his wife but she died a few days before the game. The Swans fan says " I'm really sorry to hear that but couldn't you have given the ticket to on of your friends". The other guy says, "I tried that but they all had to go to the funeral".
