A guy named Bob receives a free ticket to the Super Bowl from his
company.
Unfortunately, when Bob arrives at the stadium he realises 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, Bob notices 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, he 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, Bob again inquires
of the man next to him, "This is incredible! Who in their right mind would have
a seat like this at the SuperBowl 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," says Bob, "but still, couldn't you find someone to
take the seat? A relative or close friend?"
"No," the man replies, "they're all at the funeral."
Three Rabbis Playing Golf
Three very religious rabbis in black with long beards were playing golf. An
Irish catholic, named Mulhaney, wanted to play golf and this was the only
threesome in which he could play.
So he joins the rabbis and plays 18 holes.
At the end of the game his score is 104. The rabbis shot 69, 70 and 71.
He asks them, "How come you all play such good golf?"
The lead rabbi said, "When you live a religious life, join and attend temple, you are rewarded."
Mulhaney loves golf and figures, what do I have to lose. So he finds a temple close to his home, attends twice a week, converts, joins and lives a holy life.
About a year later he again plays golf with the three rabbis. He shoots a 104 and they shoot a 69, 70, 71. He says to them, "Okay, I joined a temple, I live a religious life and I'm still shooting lousy."
The lead rabbi said to him, "What temple did you join?"
He said, "Beth Shalom".
The rabbi retorted, "No No No! That one's for tennis!"
