A couple sharing

[Suzukidave]

An old man placed an order for one hamburger, fries and a drink..
He unwrapped the hamburger and carefully cut it in half, placing one half in front of his wife. He then counted out the 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 mug down. Then he began to eat his few bites of hamburger.


People around them were looking over and whispering. Obviously they were thinking, 'That poor old couple - all they can afford is one meal between 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 took 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, the young man again came over to the lady who had yet to eat a single bite of food and asked 'What is it you`re waiting for?'

She answered --
'THE TEETH.!
