A young man saw an elderly couple sitting down to a lunch at McDonalds.
He noticed that they had ordered one meal, and an extra drinking
cup. As he watched, the gentleman carefully divided the hamburger
in half, then counted out the fries, one for him and one for her, until
each had half of them.
Then he poured a 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 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". |
