The sharing of marriage...
The old man placed order for one hamburger, French
fries and a drink.
He unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it
in half, placing one
half in front of his wife.
He then carefully counted out the French fries,
dividing them into two piles
and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife.
He took a sip of the drink, his wife took a sip and
then set the cup down
between them . As he began to eat his few bites of
hamburger, the people
around them were looking over and whispering.
Obviously they were thinking, 'That poor old couple -
all they can afford is
one meal for the two of them.'
As the man began to eat his fries a young man came to
the table and politely
offered to buy another meal for the old couple. The
old man said, they were
just fine - they were used to sharing everything.
People closer to the table noticed the little old lady
hadn't eaten a bite.
She sat there watching her husband eat and
occasionally taking turns sipping
the drink.
Again, the young man came over and begged them to let
him buy another meal
for them. This time the old woman said 'No, thank you,
we are used to
sharing everything.'
Finally, as the old man finished and was wiping his
face neatly with the
napkin, the young man again came over to the little
old lady who had yet to
eat a single bite of food and asked 'What is it you
are waiting for?'
She answered
(Continue below - This is great)
'THE TEETH.'
