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". |
