A Meal At McDonalds

A young man saw an elderly couple sitting down to lunch at McDonalds. He noticed that they had only ordered one meal and one drink, plus an extra empty cup.

As he watched, the gentleman carefully divided the hamburger in half, then counted out the fries until each had half.

Then he poured half the soft drink into the extra cup and set that in front of his wife.

The old man then began to eat his half, as his wife sat watching patiently with her hands folded in her lap.

The young man, feeling sorrow for the couple, asked if he could buy another meal for them so that they wouldn't have to share.

The old gentleman said, "Oh no. We've been married more than 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 her half of the hamburger.

She answered in a muffled voice, "It's his turn with the teeth."
