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 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 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
everything has always been and will always be shared, 50/50."The
young man then asked the wife if she was going to eat,
and she replied, "Not yet, it's his turn with the
teeth."
