A young man saw an elderly couple sitting down to lunch at Burger
King. He noticed that they 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 it in front of his wife. The
old man 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 than asked the wife if she was going to eat, and
she replied, "Not yet. It's his turn using the teeth."
