A young man saw an elderly couple sitting down to lunch at McDonald's. He
noticed that they had ordered one meal, and an extra drink cup. As he
watched, the gentleman carefully divided the hamburger in half, then counted
out the fries, one for him, one for her, until each had half of
them.
Then the man poured half of the soft drink into the extra cup
and set that in front of his wife. The old man then began to eat, and his
wife sat watching, with her hands folded in her lap. The young man decided to
ask if they would allow him to purchase another meal for them so that they
didn't have to split theirs.
The old gentleman said, "Oh, no. We've
been married 50 years, and we always share everything 50/50. We always
have and we always will."
The young man then asked the wife, "Aren't
you going to eat?"
Came the reply, "Not yet. It's his turn with the
teeth."
