An usher discovered Delbert laying across three seats. “Sir, you only get one seat. You gotta move.”

When Delbert only groaned, management called police. “You appear drunk, sir. Your name?” the cop asked.

“Delbert,” he croaked.

“You got ID?”

“Nooo…” Delbert managed.

“Okay wise-guy, where’d you come from?”

“The balcony.”
