An old man and his wife went to their local restaurant. The man placed an order for one hamburger, French fries and a drink. He unwrapped the hamburger and 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 placed one pile in front of his wife.
He took a sip of the drink and his wife took one, 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 two of them.”

As the man began to eat his fries a young man came to the table and polietly offered to buy another meal for the old couple. The old man said, they were just fine – they were used to share everything.

People closer to the table noticed that 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 yong man came over and begged them to let him buy another meal for them. This time the old woman said: “No, thank you, we’re used to share everything.”

Finally, as the old man finished and was wiping his face with the napkin, the yong man again came over to the little old lady who had yet to eat a single bite of foodand asked: “What is you are waiting for?”

She answered: “The teeth.”
