drink.
He unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in
half, placing one half in front of his wife.
He then carefully counted out the French fries, dividing them
into two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife.
He took a sip of the drink; his wife took a sip and then set
the cup down between them. As he began to eat his few bites of
hamburger, the people around them were looking over and whispering.
Obviously they were thinking, 'That poor old couple - all
they can afford is one meal for the two of them.'
As the man began to eat his fries a young man came to the
table and politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple.
The old man said, they were just fine - they were used to sharing
everything.
People closer to the table noticed the little old lady hadn't
eaten a bite. She sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally
taking turns sipping the drink.
Again, the young man came over and begged them to let him buy
another meal for them. This time the old woman said 'No, thank you, we
are used to sharing everything..'
Finally, as the old man finished and was wiping his face
neatly with the napkin, the young man again came over to the little
old lady who had yet to eat a single bite of food and asked 'What is
it you are waiting for?'
She answered,

'THE TEETH.'
