What marriage is about

On the Lighter Side

What marriage is about ...

He ordered one hamburger, one order of French fries and
one drink. The old man unwrapped the plain hamburger
and carefully cut it in half.

He placed 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 kept
looking over and whispering.

You could tell 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. He politely offered to buy another meal for
the old couple. The old man said they were just
fine--They were used to sharing everything.

The surrounding people 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."

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."
