An elderly couple walk into a fast food restaurant.
They order one hamburger, one order of fries and
one drink.
The old man unwraps the plain hamburger and
carefully cuts it in half. He places one half in front of
his wife. He then carefully counts out the fries,
dividing them into two piles and neatly placing one
pile in front of his wife. He takes a sip of the drink,
his wife takes a sip and then sets the cup down
between them.
As he begins to eat his few bites of
hamburger, the people around them keep looking
over and whispering
"That poor old couple — all they
can afford is one meal for the two of them."
As the man begins to eat his fries a young man
comes to the table. He politely offers to buy another
meal for the old couple. The old man replies that
they're just fine they're just used to sharing
everything.
The surrounding people noticed the little old lady
hadn't eaten a bite. She sits there watching her
husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the
drink.
Again the young man comes over and begs them to
let him buy another meal for them.
This time the old woman says
"No, thank you, we are
used to sharing everything."
As the old man finishes and was wipes his face neatly
with the napkin, the young man again comes over to
the little old lady who had yet to eat a single bite of
food and asks
"May I ask what is it you are waiting
for?"
The old woman answers...
"THE TEETH."
