My grandfather died in a house that my wife and I later lived in for a while. One day a cousin was visiting, and I happened to remark "Yeah, he died sitting in his easy chair with the ballgame on. In this room, as a matter of fact. We found him in the morning. The chair was right there." I pointed at where my cousin was sitting, next to the fireplace.

"I could have gone all night without you saying that," he said.

Eh. Pappy went on to his eternal reward. I'd be surprised if he showed back up (to say the least), but if he did, we'd just set another place at the table.

LOL!

At Passover an extra place is always set for Elijah - and in the Ashkenazic tradition he is formally invited in as a glass of wine is poured for him.

Some folks I know got to that point in the ritual, and the door blew open with a loud bang and a gust of wind swirled into the room. Everybody went "oooooooooh!"
