I was reading through some comments on Saints sports blogs this past weekend and came across this post. Thought some of you may enjoy it."My friend recently went to the Saints/Patriots game. He was able to get 50 yard line tickets. He was seated next to an elderly man named Mr. Boudreaux. My friend noticed the seat next to Mr. Boudreaux was empty and he finally asked him why, at such a great game as this, is this seat empty.
Mr. Boudreaux looked down at the seat and raised his watery eyes and said, 'This is my wife's seat, we have been coming to the Saints games together since 1978, but she passed away.'
My friend had to hold back his tears but asked Mr. Boudreaux, 'Don't you have friends or family that could accompany you to the game?'
Again Mr. Boudreaux looked down at the seat and said, 'I do have many friends and family, but they are all at the FUNERAL!!!
Yeah, this little story had me all teary eyed too, till I got to that punch line! Made me laugh though.
Happy Monday everyone, have a great and blessed day.
Geaux Saints!

Oh how funny. I hear so many great sports stories. Isn't it fun when you have a winning team to support and tell these jokes about?
Debra, How funny! How about those Saints! I am loving every nail biting second they play. Even if they mess up and loose this has been one exciting season for the Saints. WHO DAT!!!!
I know better than to die during Alabama football season. There wouldn't be a single person at my funeral except some bloomin' Auburn fans ;)
Ahhhh! you had me going, there!
Sounds like one of those golfing jokes about the golfers complaining about how heavy the guy was to drag around the course until they finished the game and could get him to the hospital. Glad I don't have friends like that!!!
