Today's ghastly groaner

A man was lying sprawled across three entire seats at a posh theater before the show had even started.

An usher walked by, noticed the man and said, “Sir, you’re only allowed one seat, can you please sit up?”

The man groaned, but remained seated.

The usher became impatient with the man, “Sir, if you don’t get up, I will need to get my manager involved.”

Again the man just groaned, which infuriated the usher as he marched off to get the manager.

In a few moments, the usher returned with the manager and they both repeatedly attempted to get the man to move, but with no success.

It was at this point that the manager called the police.

Moments later, a police officer arrived and approached the man, “All right buddy, what’s your name?”

“Sam,” the man moaned.

“And where ya from Sam?”

With pain in his voice, Sam replied, “The balcony.”
