An elderly couple sitting in a fast-food restaurant

A man saw an elderly couple sitting at lunch in a fast-food restaurant.

He noticed that they had only ordered one meal, and as he watched, the older gentleman carefully split the burger in half,

then he counted the chips until everyone had half.

Then the old man began to eat and his wife watched him, her hands clasped in her lap.

The young man decided to ask if they would let him buy another meal for them, so that they wouldn’t have to share theirs.

The old gentleman said, “Oh, no.

We have been married for 50 years and everything has always been and always will be shared 50-50.”

The young man asked his wife if she would eat, and she replied:

“Not yet. It’s his turn to use our teeth.”
