  A True Canadian
 
  A man had tickets to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final right at
  center ice. As he sits down, a 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 Stanley Cup and not use it?"
  He says  "Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. I was supposed
 to come
  with my wife, but she passed away. This is the first Stanley Cup
 we
  haven't been to together since we got married in 1967."
  "Oh ... I'm sorry to hear that. That's terrible. But couldn't you
  find someone else  -- a friend or relative, or even a neighbour-to
 take the seat?"
  The man shakes his head "No. They're all at the funeral."
