...yet another to pass along.
This is what marriage is
really all about...
He ordered one hamburger, one order of French fries and one drink. The
old man unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in
half. He placed 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 kept looking over and whispering. You could tell 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.
He politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple. The
old man said that they were just fine - They were used to sharing
everything.
The surrounding people 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."
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, "The teeth."
