  • “1st Jayhawk Basketball Game - 2014”

    My friend, Jaybate, received a free ticket to attend a Jayhawks basketball game. Unfortunately. Jaybate’s seat was in the last row in the upper Southwest corner area of the Fieldhouse. He noticed an empty seat about 10 rows up from the floor directly at the mid-court line. He decides to make his way to the empty seat. As he sits down he asks the man next to him if anyone is sitting there. The man told him no, it was empty. Jaybate is very excited to have a seat like this at a Jayhawk Basketball game and asks why in the world no one is using it? The man replied that it was his wife’s seat but she passed away. He also said this was the first Jayhawk Basketball game that they have not attended together since they were married in 1968. Jaybate said that it was really sad and asked why he couldn’t find someone, a relative, or a close friend, to take her seat?

    “I couldn’t find anyone” replied the man, “They’re all at her funeral!”

    “No malice intended … just having fun!”
