At a fast food joint, a young man was fascinating watching an
elderly couple, who sat down to lunch. As he watched, he noticed that they had
ordered one meal, and an extra drink cup. He watched as the old gentleman
carefully divided the hamburger in half, and then counted out the fries, one
for him, one for her, until each had half of them. Then he 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 on 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 everything
has always been and will always be shared, 50/50." The young man then
asked the wife if she wasn’t going to eat, and she replied, "It's his turn
with the teeth."
