A man lay sprawled across three entire seats in a theater. When the usher
came by and noticed this, he whispered to the man, ''Sorry, sir, but you're only
allowed one seat.'' The man groaned but didn't budge. The usher became
impatient.
''Sir,'' the usher said, ''if you don't get up from there I'm going to have
to call the manager.''
Again, the man just groaned, which infuriated the usher who turned and
marched briskly back up the aisle in search of his manager. In a few moments,
both the usher and the manager returned and stood over the man. Together the two
of them tried repeatedly to move him, but with no success. Finally, they
summoned the police. The cop surveyed the situation briefly.
''All right buddy, what's your name?''
''Sam,'' the man moaned.
''Where ya from, Sam?'' the cop asked.
''The balcony.''
