For good times and bad times...

An old man ordered one hamburger, one order of French
fires and one drink.
He unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in
half. He placed one half in front of his wife. He carefully
counted out the French Fries, dividing them into 2 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 just one meal
for the 2 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 he 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!".
