A Life Of Sharing

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."
