A season ticket holder for years, a man takes his regular seat at the Rangers-Celtic match. He looks to his left and notices that the there is a spare seat in between himself and the next season ticket holder.
“Who would ever miss a Ranger-Celtic match?” asked the man of his colleague.
“That was my wife’s seat," he replied. "We been coming together for years, but she passed away.”
“That’s terrible, I'm sorry," responded the first, "but couldn’t you get someone else to come with you? A member of the family or a friend?”
The second man replied, “No . . . they are all at the funeral.”

From BBC News:
Rangers manager Dick Advocaat was caught speeding in Glasgow. The Dutchman was doing 56mph in a 30 zone. He is reported as being very upset about the £60 fine but at the same time delighted with the three points.

LOL - have to take the points anyway you can get them I suppose.

I've heard something similar to the season ticket joke wrt a golfer who stops on the fairway and takes off his hat as a funeral passes. His partner remarks that he appreciates his respect, and he says, "Well, she was a good wife."
